Youth Committee Volunteer

The Youth Committee is a volunteer group of high school students from Westchester, Rockland, and lower Fairfield counties, whose goal is to raise awareness of the importance of cancer support and Cancer Support Community Greater NY & CT (CSCNYCT) in their schools and communities.
 
Youth Committee members work together to:

  • plan events
  • fundraise
  • develop and distribute outreach and marketing materials
  • find new and innovative ways to spread the word about CSCNYCT

 

Meetings are hands on and focus on learning about cancer, emotional support and the organization and operation of non-profit organizations.  By the end of the year, members leave with an understanding of the inner workings of a non-profit.

Meetings are 1x a month from 10:00 AM- 11:00 AM
