JOIN THE WMCD INC. YOUTH TEAM!
We're recruiting an all-star team of teens currently in grades 6-11 to join our WMCD Inc. Youth Team! Each year, we host a 25-hour charity all-nighter for middle and high school students with food, friends, and fun. Since foundation, we've raised north of $100,000 for charity.
As a member of the youth team, you'll make event-planning decisions, help at fundraisers, experience hands-on leadership, do media appearances, and more! It's an opportunity to grow, collaborate, gain valuable experience and develop your leadership skills. Plus, free WMCD swag!
Members of our youth team need to be able to dedicate 2-3 hours per week to WMCD Inc. This number of hours will fluctuate depending on the time of the year, but as you and the team make decisions, you'll play an important role in guiding how often the team meets, what projects to take on, and more. If you're interested, fill out this form by April 20th (and invite your friends!)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Our organization meets in Westfield, Massachusetts. Only sign up if you are within commutable distance of this region.
ABOUT THE WMCD INC. YOUTH TEAM
Our youth team is an opportunity for middle and high school students to engage in hands-on, real-world experiences that translate to their workplaces and beyond.
We do our best to offer opportunities to our youth team that they cannot find in the classroom. This takes many forms, such as volunteering at our fundraising events, doing live television and radio appearances, presenting their ideas to the WMCD Board of Directors, interviewing local charities about the work they do, and more.
The team meets about twice each month, with at least one other opportunity to get involved. During meeting times, the youth team primarily plans our annual 25-hour events, called charity all-nighters.
“All of the youth team was so welcoming, and I felt like a part of the group immediately. I have learned about collaborating with others, sharing ideas, and brainstorming when making decisions about the events.” - Izabela Rutkowski
“Every single member does their best to make WMCD a warm and welcoming environment both among ourselves and our community. Raising money for charity doesn't just do good; it feels good.” - Aaron Boyd
We’re always recruiting. To join, email Youth Team Manager Cindy Monti at cmonti@wmcd.org.
