agencies. Volunteer activities include recycling education, stream
cleanup, helping with community events and even dog washing! Volunteers

and learn more about their community.

throughout the summerand invite Youth In Action volunteers to help out.
Volunteers may participate as their schedules allow and can help with
one or all of the opportunities. Youth volunteers will be supervised by
