Youth Council
Just as the leaves are beginning to change…
SCI youth leaders are beginning to make change…
As the leaves start to turn in the Boston area, SCI is training 220 young leaders to collaborate effectively, make connections, bridge differences, and nurture social networks to make change long after this autumns’ leaves have fallen.
SCI youth leaders will tackle issues they are passionate about such as hunger, teen violence, and the environment. Guided by the new Social Capitalist curriculum, they will develop leadership skills for a lifetime of service and success.
But we need your help to nurture the next generation of civic leaders. As grant budgets tighten, we seek to expand our base of individual donors to make sure the teens that want to make a difference have the tools they need to do so.
The Woburn Youth Council is proud to announce it has decided to fund 6 mini-grant projects. Each project funded by the Woburn Youth Council is a community service learning project led by a Woburn youth. The projects accomplish SCI's major goals in its youth programming: engage youth in service of their community and create a new generation of young leaders.
The youth council will fund the following projects:
The Governor's Statewide Youth Council is one part of Governor Patrick's commitment to engaging all citizens of the Commonwealth in their communities and their government. The Youth Council initiative will encourage and motivate young people to be involved in their communities and to participate in problem solving through assuming leadership and planning roles. Once established, the Youth Council will focus on the Governor's priorities of education, economic development, civic engagement, and community outreach, advising the Governor as representatives of all Massachusetts young people.
Selection of the council will be by application, which is available at www.mass.gov/governor/youthcouncil. The deadline is May 30, 2008. A selection committee will review the applications and select the 28 members, who will then be notified via mail.
Hello Woburn
Residents,
The brisk winter is quickly
approaching and every year the Woburn Youth Council collects coats from the
community and donates them to charity.
From Dec. 7th - Dec. 15th
the Youth Council will provide hangers to the community so all Woburn
residents can participate.
Traditionally, the hangers are dropped off at front doors in each
residential
area. Please don’t hesitate to donate any coats due to stains or broken
zippers because local cleaners have volunteered to remedy any problems.
If
you are a retailer and you wish to donate coats you can drop them off
at the
Social Capital Inc. (SCI) office located at 165 New Boston Street Suite 233, Woburn
MA.
On Saturday December 15, 2007 the
Youth Council will make rounds in the community to pick up all donations from
12pm-3pm. Feel free to leave your donations at the front door on the hangers
they’ve provided. For all inquiries please contact me at (781)
935-2244 or by clicking here. Thank you for your participation.
