Youth Opportunities

03/16/23, 1:37 PM

Hi bulldog families, 

I wanted to share with you some youth opportunities for students. This is something that I already emailed all high school students, but I wanted to also pass this along to you. We typically only send these opportunities at least once a month to students. These are great ways for students to begin to get involved in their community and to also build experience on their resumes. Please let me know if you have any questions. 

I am sharing with you today lots of wonderful outside of school opportunities. These range from summer programs to fieldtrips with other organizations. Please see below to view all of these wonderful opportunities. Please let me know if you need help or have questions about any of the opportunities below.
