Centre Foundation is looking for local high school students who are interested in making an impact in their community.
A new program called Centre PACT (Philanthropic Actions Created by Teens) will launch later this fall in conjunction with the start of the 2015-2016 school year.
Interested applicants should apply by the Friday, April 3 deadline.
“Centre PACT will be a great vehicle for students from across the county to come together, discuss issues facing their peer group, learn about potential solutions that non-profits offer, and ultimately fund the proactive program that they think will be most effective,” explains Molly Kunkel, Centre Foundation Executive Director.
Centre PACT is a hands-on philanthropy program that will help to hone students’ leadership, communication, professional, compassion, and networking skills. This unique program and the volunteer hours it entails will be a highlight on resumes and college applications. Centre PACT participants will also learn how to become more engaged Centre County citizens.
“This is a student-driven, hands-on, community-focused group that will learn a lot about Centre County, each other, and themselves,” notes Kunkel.
Applications are available online at centre-foundation.org.
For more information about Centre PACT, please contact Irene Miller, Centre Foundation’s Development and Events Coordinator, at (814) 237-6229 or by email at irene@centre-foundation.org.
