Semester of Service

From http://www.semesterofservice.org/ : For the last 20 years, millions of American children and youth have participated in highly visible service and service-learning projects on Global Youth Service Day (The Largest Service Event in the World) and for the last 14 years on Martin Luther King Day (A Day On, Not A Day Off).

Ben Arnold Memorial Boys & Girls Club Service Day

The event will start out in the morning with a little ceremony and will end with a lunch and wrap up ceremony. The volunteers will be working in the garden, distributing sand in the playground, and general grounds cleanup. There is a possibility of some interior painting to finish up a kitchen remodel.

To volunteer, please contact Mary Roe at (803)767-3567.

Vaughn's Healthy Living Project

High School students with mild cognitive delays will educate their peers about making healthy food choices. These students will prepare healthy fruits, vegetables, and other snacks to be distributed to and sampled by their peers. Student volunteers will discuss the health benefits derived from each food item and will distribute flyers containing this information to their peers. Volunteers will also display and discuss items they have selected for their school library that are related to healthy living for teens.
