My 16 year old, a responsible, kind, lifelong Chautauquan, is looking for a service opportunity during Week 4 or 5. 

A rising junior, she’s hoping to earn a handful of volunteer hours for high school while contributing to our shared community in a meaningful way.

This does not need to be a major or ongoing commitment — the great fit could be a small project completed in a few hours on her own or with a few other interested teens/friends. The scope should directly involve the Institution at large or one of the many wonderful nonprofit clubs, organizations, initiatives, or community groups on the grounds.

She’s especially great connecting with elders and hearing their stories, and as a greeter/hostess.

One logistical note: Her school requires a short note validating the service hours.

Grapeviners, have an idea for a project in need an extra set of hands? Let me know!

Thanks,
Emily (the mom)
