Fall Volunteer Training
Join us for Facilitating Youth Sparks! Youth's sparks can shine brightly or dimly, depending on whether they have spark champions - individuals who support and encourage them to discover and pursue their spark. Champions give the message there is something good and beautiful within youth which is useful to the world. Hope to see you November 22 at the Douglas County Public Works meeting room at 6 p.m. A light meal will be served. Leader's Council will follow at 7:30 p.m.
