[Artemisia] Teenage Service

[leishman10 at q.com]

I also know of a certain 'troubled youth' who clocked @ 40 hours (actually more but that's all they were 'required' to do...) of community sevice assisting me back when I was the local youth officer. 

So not only does this go well for the kids who are 'exceeding' and doing what they should... it also gives problem kids an opportunity to do what they need to do to get 'out of trouble'... while at the same time exposing them to something that might possibly help to turn them around. It's a win win situation all around. 

Something to think about when you have a teen in the neighborhood or in the family who is going through a rough patch.

Greetings,

This was originally posted on the Kingdom Youth Yahoo group and I thought it was definitely worth a share.

YIS,

As
 a non-profit
 organization, any service does for the Kingdom or a representative of 
the Kingdom can count as community service. There are many schools, 
scholarships (Bright Futures requries 75 hours by graduation), and 
organizations (JROTC) that require a certain number of community 
service, sometimes per year. Also, the more that is listed on a college 
application, the more "involved" the applicant seems to the admissions 
board.  Working in the
 kitchen, retaining, assisting with youth activities, spending time in 
scribes point, set-up and take-down all can earn community service are 
just a few things that your child can help do at an event. All your 
child would need to do to receive the credit is to do a service and then
 have the leader of the service sign their community
 service log sheet (usually available thru their school office).  If you or your teen have any questions, please contact me off list and I'll do my best to answer them. :) Yours in Service,
Lady Amira de Medici
