CAN DO’s Student Action Committee is comprised of local area high school students, who serve as non-voting members of the CAN DO Board of Directors. These students meet once every month and take part in educational workshops covering presentation skills, leadership, public speaking, team building, project management, field trips to local workforce industries/businesses, community service, workforce readiness, and community event planning.
Mission
The program’s purpose is to provide students with practical and hands-on experiences that relate to CAN DO’s service area – defined as the Greater Hazleton Area School District’s geographic location. By engaging in this program, students will learn valuable skills such as organizing community events, developing leadership skills, and building connections with local businesses and resources. This includes engaging with nonprofit organizations and participating in volunteer activities. Such experiences enhance students’ preparedness to enter the workforce and enable them to make meaningful contributions to their community.
Applications are now closed for the semester

“I enjoyed working with other student leaders and saw how much of a difference we can make when we work together. I wanted the opportunity to take on a larger leadership role and help guide the committee in continuing its mission. I hope to serve as a positive example, mentor them through their experiences, and show them the many ways they can become involved in their school and community. Making a lasting impact on the next generation of student leaders is something I am very excited about.”
