Volunteer and Leadership Opportunities for High School Students
Special Message from the Youth Community Fund of Bronxville, Eastchester and Tuckahoe
The YCF is a group of students from Bronxville, Eastchester and Tuckahoe who participate in community service, fundraising and award grants to local agency programs serving youth. It is a great way for teens to give back to their community and to hold leadership positions. Last year we started the YCF of BET and over 60 students from all three communities worked together to make our community stronger. The students worked on community service projects and awarded the first grant this spring to the Bereavement Center.
We are currently accepting new applications for the 20-21 school year. We are looking for students to participate on the Volunteer team, open to grades 9-12, and for our Leadership team, which is open to rising Juniors. It is a great opportunity to give back to your community, learn about local nonprofits, and develop leadership skills.
If you are interested, more information and the application can be found here.
Call for Volunteers – The PTA Executive Board
The Tuckahoe PTA still has several openings available on the Executive Board. Helping the PTA as a parent volunteer is a fulfilling way to contribute to our school district and help students across the board enjoy fulfilling programs and experiences. Now more than ever, volunteers are needed to make the 2020/2021 PTA programs and offerings a possibility for all students.
Committee terms are for two years. All committees have two chairs to share the responsibilities, along with several parent volunteers able to support their efforts. Chairs must attend monthly PTA Executive Board meetings (held the third Tuesday of the month at 7:30 pm), but can switch off attendance in case both are not able to attend all meetings.
The following positions will become available at the start of the 2020-2021 school year. If you are interested, please send a short email to the Nominating Committee at tuckahoeptanom@gmail.com with the name of the position of interest in the subject line. Questions may also be directed to that email address.
Click here for a full list of available positions and instructions on how to volunteer!
