Bee Inspired offers many opportunities for teens aged 12-19 to get involved in Franklin, Hamilton, and Wright Counties! Check out our current youth development, service-learning, philanthropy and other groups below!
Don’t see something available in your community? Don’t see something for your age group? Let us know!
Hamilton County
In Hamilton County there is the SHIFT Happens Group, which consists of 9th-12th graders from the Webster School District. Additionally, we partner with the Enhance Hamilton County Foundation to offer the Youth in Philanthropy Program. That program includes representatives from South Hamilton and Webster City Schools.
Wright County
RCYL
In the past, the Right County Youth Leaders (RCYL) was available to 9th-12th grade students in the Clarion-Goldfield-Dows Community School District. We partnered with Community & Family Resources (CFR) to offer the youth-development activities. We would love to re-launch or expand to additional schools or alternative settings in Wright County!
There are two parts available:
1. Teens are able to participate in various awareness activities that are offered by partnering community agencies during the lunch-hour randomly throughout the school year.
2. Teens are able to join the group to plan prevention and awareness activities. The group would meet twice a month based on youth schedules. Activities may include prevention, random acts of kindness, health education topics, encouraging positivity, & more!
Those interested in forming a group for the school year may contact our Bee Inspired Program Coordinator at tlarson@co.wright.ia.us or 515.602.6371 (ext. 4).
Franklin County Teens:
Bee Inspired is seeking teens in Franklin County interested in being part of a group that wants to partner with community agencies to create activities that focus on prevention, youth development, community awareness, and increasing positive youth-adult connections!
