Broughton High School Offering Leadership and Service Course, Fall 2010
Raleigh, NC (February 26, 2010) – In a newly designed High School elective course, Community Leadership & Service, students will develop leadership skills, social awareness and a sense of individual responsibility through volunteering and engaging in hands-on service projects. Students will acquire practical experience, skills, and knowledge necessary for continued contributions to their community and world outside of the classroom.
The course was designed by ME³, an organization that promotes volunteerism in Wake County through outreach, education, and service. The idea of the course is to provide an opportunity for high school students to learn about volunteerism and community leadership, and apply those learnings to making a difference in the community.
ME³ founder Amber Smith sees great potential in this course: “This is a great opportunity for the students at Broughton High School to become more involved in the community and have a leg up when entering college, as well as gain advanced understanding of solving community issues, leading others in impactful projects, and how to earn careers in the public and charitable sectors. We’re excited to empower young adults through building social responsibility and civic leadership skills at the high school level.”
Rising sophomores and juniors at Broughton High School are encouraged to enroll in this course at their respective registration dates between March 6th and March 26th. To enroll, students can find the course, Community Leadership and Service, on the last page of their registration list. When signing up online, students must remember to include the course number, 952029.
Additional benefits of this course include: building relationships with local Non-Profit leaders and organizations, the opportunity to earn a $500 scholarship, and experience that will enhance college resumes.
