Youth Health Service Corps:
YHSC is a program that works with high school students providing them with service learning opportunities within the health field. Students in the YHSC learn significant life skills for the professional world, such as cultural relativity. They also learn useful hands-on skills within the health profession field, such as taking blood pressure. They will implement these skills by completing 50 hours of community service in a local health facility. Students are given opportunities to connect with health professionals and other students across America and western Washington interested in health professions, while gaining valuable experience that will strengthen their resumes.
Youth Health Service Corps will be visiting the College and Career Center on Friday, October 1st. Come sign up to attend if you are interested in learning more!
Companion Animal Medical Center / Burien Animal Care and Control:
Is looking for responsible students who would be interested in volunteering at the center to provide basic feeding, walking and cage cleaning care for cats and dogs (and play time too). We would greatly appreciate getting their help. A group could work in pairs and commit to 1-2 afternoons a week each pair, for a month to start, and longer if the interest remains. We would keep a time log sheet for each student to become their personal record. We could also use help on Saturday morning or Sunday morning if that time frame was preferred. Since the majority of animals in at the center right now were collected as part of BACC, the community service would reflect care for Burien's stray animal needs.
Companion Animal Medical Center / Burien Animal Care and Control is open Mon., Wed. - Fri. 9-6. On Sat. it is open 9-1. Of course animal care is twice a day, 7 days a week, so times on closed days could be arranged.
Interested students should call the center at 206-878-0405. It is located at 19655 1st Ave S., Normandy Park.
Hey Seniors: It's time to get going on your culminating project!! ....and yes, you still have to do it even though there isn't advisory. On October 13th we will be having an assembly for seniors with information about the culminating project. You'll have a chance to ask questions and sort out the details. For now - if you don't already have a plan - it's time to start brainstorming!
Keep an eye out for volunteer opportunities that are on going over the course of the school year- this is a good way to develop a meaningful project that could potentially have a major impact on our community!
