contents SerVermont--The First Year. 1986. Parsons, Cynthia Community Programs High School Students High Schools Intergenerational Programs Program Development Program Implementation Social Responsibility Statewide Planning Student Participation Volunteers SerVermont is a volunteer program for high school students. The program stresses public service in the community and is intended to teach students the value of personal volunteer service to their local communities. During SerVermont's first year of operation, 11 high schools were awarded minigrants to be used in developing programs in which student volunteers would work to improve their local communities. The following programs were initiated: a program in which teams consisting of high school students and a senior citizen or faculty member organized annual spring and autumn clean-ups of senior citizens' yards and houses; a program in which special education students took part in improving a local outdoor recreation area; a program to clean up the community common; a seat belt education campaign; a community service auction; a program in which high school students staged a musical performance for local senior citizens; a project in which woodshop students are making welcome signs for their town; a leadership forum to honor senior citizens who have made some important contribution to their town in the past; a student-sponsored combination art exhibit, concert, and luncheon for senior citizens; a library aide program to help other students improve their study and research skills; a local history presentation to help elementary school children become familiar with their town and learn the alphabet at the same time; an intergenerational school luncheon program; and a greeting card and letter writing program in which students correspond with senior citizens on special occasions. (Appendixes comprising two-thirds of the document include miscellaneous programs memos, a sample program inventory sheet, a list of SerVermont minigrant winners and contacts, a program announcement and application, an expenditures memo, and assorted news articles about SerVermont.)
