TeenLife LIVE! Community Service Fair & Expo

Studies have shown that students who volunteer, experience benefits ranging from increased self-esteem to acquiring valuable job skills. Volunteer work is a critical component to a successful college application; therefore, it is no surprise that many middle and high school students are encouraged and even required to complete multiple hours of community service before graduation.

Meet face-to-face with representatives from local non-profits willing to engage teens as volunteers as well as representatives from other programs and services. Each student will receive a free copy of the 2012 Guide to Community Service in Greater Boston.

Students, parents and teachers can sign up for free at: http://www.teenlife.com/?CSFair2012Boston
