We offer a Junior Volunteer Leader Program for youth grades 7 and up. A training/orientation workshop, High Five Training and 50% of the cost of emergency first aid is provided in exchange for your commitment to volunteer with our summer recreation programs. Together with our summer recreation staff they form a dynamic team of young people with lots of energy, knowledge, and skills. Many of the young people that participate in this program like it so much that they volunteer more than the required 80 hour minimum. Some have given as many as 200+ hours during July and August
