Lakes Area Youth Service Bureau in Forest Lake has an opportunity for adults that might interest you. If you have a skill or talent and a desire to help teens improve their life with it, you are who the non-profit organization is looking for. When a youth in our community gets into trouble with the law and is referred to YSB, there are certain components that they have to complete as part of a community justice contract. In addition to the mandatory components, they can choose to complete counseling, community-service hours or peer groups. Peer groups are educational small groups where the teens learn a skill that will help improve their lives or make them more successful. YSB is looking for people from all walks of life and all manner of careers to come create and lead their own Peer Group at the Forest Lake office, 244 N. Lake St. If you become one of YSB’s trained volunteers you will have a chance to pass along knowledge and life lessons, that have taken you years to acquire, to a new generation of youth that is in need of direction. Examples of possible peer group topics: • Job, business, domestic, outdoor, relationship and/or communication skills • Citizenship Building • Chemical/Addiction knowledge • Future planning • Fire safety Contact Matt Howard at 651-464-3685 or e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it to receive a volunteer application and notification of the next available volunteer orientation session.
