Youth In Action summer volunteer program returns
									
	(COLUMBIA, MO) - Youth in Action is a summer volunteer program
for kids ages 12-15 sponsored by the city of Columbia's Office of
Volunteer Services. Youth in Action is an exciting way for kids to
contribute to their community this summer, make new friends and learn
new skills. 
	Youth in Action volunteers help with activities for the city of
Columbia and other community agencies. Volunteer activities include
recycling education, harvesting food at a local farm for donation and
keeping Columbia’s streets and streams clean.  Volunteers will also
take a closer look at their local government and learn more about their
community. 
	City of Columbia staff will organize activities throughout the
summer and invite Youth In Action volunteers to help. Volunteers may
participate as their schedule allows and can help with one or all of the
opportunities. Youth volunteers will be supervised by city
staff.	
	An application for Youth In Action and additional details can be
found online at www.GoColumbiaMo.com/Volunteer. Participants can also
find out more by attending informational meetings scheduled for:
	●	Wednesday, May 30: 5-7 p.m. at City Hall, 701 E.
Broadway, Mezzanine Conference Room
	●	Saturday, June 2: 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the ARC, 1701 W.
Ash St.
	Youth and their parents or guardians are invited to attend and
asked to bring the calendar to sign up for summer activities. These are
"open house style" meetings and no RSVP is required.
