  • 1.  Partnering with community sports teams

    Posted 2 days ago

    Hi Everyone! I am curious if any of you have ever partnered with a local sports team? I am brainstorming ways of getting youth involved in Rescue and also benefiting their clubs as well. I just cannot think of anything that would be equally beneficial for both? 

    Thank you!

    I haven't tried our local sport teams…if fact our community outreach is in its infancy, but you might contact your local Scouts - both girl and boy. They both require community projects for their Eagle or Gold Awards and each have animal care merit badges. You may get some projects completed or some student volunteers. If you don't have a area Scout headquarters near by, reach out to the churches who usually sponsor the Scout troops. Just a thought
