Attention BHS high school sophomores or juniors who might be interested in a free outdoor experience like no other with friends of Baxter State Park! We are recruiting applicants for this year's Maine Youth Wilderness Leadership Program. We are currently accepting applications with a deadline of February 8. The online application and reference form is available on their website at friendsofbaxter.org/mywlp. This exceptional opportunity is free and open to Maine high school sophomores or juniors. It includes a nine-day wilderness experience in Baxter State Park working with a variety of specialists and Park staff to better understand wilderness through science, art, storytelling, photography, writing, history and recreation.
The Brunswick Rec is looking for some help with the Valentine Ball. Here are the details:
Set-Up is on Friday, February 7th from 4pm until 7:30pm at HBS. We will probably not need to be there until 7:30pm but it is easier to send people home early than to ask them to stay later. As many people as would like to help we will take. We always seem to have more trouble getting volunteers for Friday than we do for Saturday. With that in mind can we stipulate that volunteers that help on Friday will be given priority for the spots that we fill on Saturday? Just trying to brainstorm a way to increase the numbers for Friday.
The dance is 5-7pm on Saturday the 8th, and we ask the volunteers to commit to 4pm to 8pm. We would limit the number of volunteers for the dance to 8 and appropriate attire is required.
To sign up please contact Aaron Cropley acropley@brunswickme.gov
We have a great opportunity with Big Brothers Big Sisters for you to become a mentor at Harriet Beecher Stowe after school on Tuesdays from 3-4:30. You can earn all of your thirty hours if you participate. Attached is a flier that discusses a bit more about the programs and the brief application is online here. Freshmen can apply! https://www.bbbsbathbrunswick.org/hsbigs/
Being a big brother or big sister with Big Brothers Big Sisters is one of the highest, most recognized, and valued, service endeavors one can take part in. This would be an amazing addition to your resume and you will have fun and experience immense personal growth.
