Front Royal-Warren County Anti-Litter Council seeking local high school student to join leadership team

If you’re a local high student interested in environmental stewardship, community engagement, and gaining hands-on experience in a leadership position, the FR-WC Anti-Litter Council (ALC) is looking for you!

The ALC is a group of volunteers that helps build a positive community ethic around an increased awareness of litter prevention and stewardship towards cleaner landscapes and watersheds. We know that keeping our roadways, parks, and streams trash-free improves the well-being of our community members, wildlife, and natural resources. But litter prevention is a complex challenge that requires a multi-faceted, locally tailored approach in order to be successful, and so the ALC is looking to expand its leadership team by adding a student member to help generate new ideas and approaches for tackling these issues.

The successful student candidate would be responsible for:

• attending a 1-to-2 hour ALC meeting each month during the academic year;
• contributing to new and ongoing litter prevention projects; and
• overseeing their own community litter clean-up event.

This is a unique opportunity to serve in a leadership position in your own community, to make a tangible impact close to home, and to gain valuable experience that can be added to your college resume. The student member will also be eligible for a monetary scholarship from the ALC to be used towards college tuition upon completion of their service.

Interested students should reach out to ALC President, Justin Proctor, by email: c.justin.proctor@gmail.com

To all community members: The ALC meets on the fourth Thursday of every month at 4 p.m. in the Warren County Government Center (220 N. Commerce, Front Royal). Please don’t hesitate to swing by!
