Hello fellow and future VolunTeens! We are seniors at Pine Crest School in Broward County, and the Co-Presidents of VolunTeens. Each of us has been actively involved in a variety of different school and extracurricular activities, including Varsity Basketball, student government, yearbook, Beta Club, and other clubs and service organizations.

In addition to being members of VolunTeens, some of our other volunteer activities include coaching a team in a community basketball league, tutoring elementary school students at a local library, collecting used sporting goods and equipment for a non-profit organization, and various service projects.

With hard work and dedication, we will now focus on enhancing VolunTeens to make it a valuable outreach program and a single source of information that is beneficial to all South Floridian teens.

Being active in your community can be more satisfying than most people believe. The reward you realize when participating in your society goes beyond receiving credit in your high school. The acknowledgement that you have helped your community become a better place is one that can only be described once you have experienced it. Our job is to help others feel the same joy that we do when partaking in community service.

All three of our predecessors have worked diligently to create this thorough organization and website.The founders and original presidents, Melanie and Jennifer Bloom, donated their time to develop and launch VolunTeens.com Jackie Schneider took over the reins from the Blooms and, for the past two years, did an extraordinary job of improving the website by adding significant new capabilities.

Jackie has handed the torch to us to continue with the enhancement of the site. We promise to try our hardest to follow in the footsteps of our predecessors.

Our goal is to take VolunTeens in a brand new and exciting direction… to BROWARD COUNTY!

In addition to updating information for Palm Beach County, we now offer high school students from Broward County their own single source site for volunteer activities. With a click of your mouse, you will be able to find a detailed list of volunteer organizations in Broward County and a calendar of local events. As an added bonus, both Broward County and Palm Beach County students can check the number of community service hours required by your school.

Another new addition is the launching of a newsletter to facilitate communication with the students who join Volunteens. When groups of volunteers are needed for special events, we contact the students who joined VOLUNTEENS.COM about joining a VolunTeens Team to help out at the upcoming event. The newsletter will also be filled with other opportunities and helpful hints on volunteering. Already more than 60 teens have joined Volunteens.com, and we hope that number will increase even more.

Please take some time to explore the website. In particular, we hope you will read our newly updated Spotlight section. It highlights the community service achievements of teens in Palm Beach and now Broward County as well.

If you have suggestions on how to improve this website, or if you have organizations or events that you would like us to add, please contact us at milichtwins@volunteens.com.
