Watauga High School students are thinking globally and serving locally!
The 3rd Annual Watauga County Youth Service Day (YSD) is scheduled for Saturday, April 24th from 9-5pm, organized by Mountain Alliance Student Leadership Committee. This event is held to correspond with Global Youth Service Day, which is the largest community service event in the world! The Goals of Youth Service Day are to mobilize youth to identify and address needs of their community through service, support youth on their life-long path of service and civic engagement and educate the public, the media, and policy makers about the year round contributions the youth in Watauga County are currently involved in.
All Watauga county youth are invited to volunteer their time and service to local businesses and community members throughout the county. Students will meet at Watauga High School at 8:30am where they will sign in and be assigned to a service group and site. The specific locations of the service sites will remain a secret until the morning of the event! Students, accompanied by a Mountain Alliance staff member, will then be shuttled to individual service sites throughout the county. Students will work on a variety of unique projects and snacks will also be provided.
After a satisfying day of hard work, students will be reunited at Watauga High School where they will celebrate the accomplishments of the day, enjoy a delicious meal and jam to live music. This will conclude the festivities of the 2010 Watauga County Youth Service Day, and parents are welcome to pick up their students at the High School anytime between 4-5pm.
Come out and enjoy an action packed day of service! Registration is easy and 2010 YSD Registration forms are now available in the Mountain Alliance office and Watauga High School’s main office. Registration forms must be filled out, signed by a legal guardian and returned. Only students who pre-register will receive a Watauga County Youth Service Day t-shirt. Do not miss out on this exciting community event! For more information about Mountain Alliance, or details about Youth Service Day, please contact the Mountain Alliance office at 828-263-0383.
