Well, the Volunteer Center has it!

YLEAD is a summer leadership program that brings in high school students from across the Lehigh Valley and provides them with the resources and skills needed to become empowering leaders in the community. The program involves teambuilding and leadership activities, developmental trainings, opportunities to hear from prominent community members, as well as opportunities to get involved in the community and complete up to 10 hours of service.

In years past, the students have had incredible experiences and made lasting friendships with one another. The week-long day camp runs from 9AM to 3PM each day and is being offered for two separate weeks for the first time this summer. The feedback from 2021 led to the decision of offering an additional week, and this year, it will be held at the Volunteer Center offices in the Banana Factory in Bethlehem during the weeks of July 11th-15th, and July 25th-29th.

Meet Sandie Kelly...

• the voice behind the phone. Even through the pandemic, thankful for technology, we were able to personally answer the phone and give guidance to all who called
• the go-to person who will patiently work through all the details for all nonprofits looking to navigate our website and post for volunteers
• the person who works with each caller and volunteer looking to engage and connect them with nonprofit needs
• the connector for all those donations of office furniture and supplies, connecting those opportunities directly with the nonprofit community
• always there for every in-person event, at the registration desk happy to greet everyone
• the person who reminds us for every event and program... "everyone loves a deadline" 
• someone who has her systems in place, and who the entire team knows to go to for the answers. 

Thank you, Sandie, for your continued commitment to the Volunteer Center and all that we serve!
