There will be many different members, from various groups participating here, as well as other youth and families who also believe in our causes. Some members of this movement may never meet, while others may get together often, it is up those individuals. AZHFC/Youth will coordinate group events, but only one every other month. Planning and forming of interest groups and other field trips within AZHFC will be scheduled to best accommodate everyone. Participation in any event or cause is at the discretion of each individual member. We will continually post volunteer opportunities and community events on the site, and all are welcome to join in. Service stones will be awarded to members who participate in ANY cause benefiting others, animals, or the environment. Service stones are markers to represent each hour/item given to any cause by a member. Awards and recognition are given to members as they accumulate service stones. Members can participate actively and earn service stones regardless of their location. At the end of our first year, AZHFC/Youth is planning to celebrate with a huge balloon release. We are looking forward to a great first year! |
