Day two was all about volunteering! With the help of Lisa Traum from Spark the Wave, students were inspired to make a difference in their communities and learned leadership skills through interactive activities. Students are encouraged to bring these skills back to improve the organizations that they are already involved with in their own high schools.

On day five, the students learned how they can be instructors of Red Cross programs aimed to keep small children safe. First Aid for Children Today (FACT) helps teach children ages 5-8 about protecting themselves against dangers, as well as how they can respond if faced with these dangers. Longfellow’s WHALE Tales helps teach children 5-12 important lessons about water and pool safety.
