Youth Service Club Leaders Wanted

Have you always wanted to help children and the community but never knew how? Modern Woodmen is sponsoring some local Youth Service Clubs and providing the funding for them.

Are you looking for a great way to get kids involved in the community Modern Woodmen of America will pay a club leader to organize the monthly activities and also reimburse for the costs of the activities. Additional money is available for field trips and special activities, like $150 for our plant a tree program. Dedicated club leaders can also qualify for a free trip every 3 years for you and your spouse.

Volunteerism, education, patriotism and fun are the foundation of Modern Woodmen Youth Service Clubs. For more than 60 years, these clubs have improved the self-esteem of participating children through helping others.

What is a club?

Similar to scout troops, clubs hold monthly activities and plan volunteer projects that benefit the community. In a safe and positive environment, led by adult Modern Woodmen members, participating kids undertake countless educational, service and beautification projects for the betterment of their local communities. And they have a lot of fun along the way.
