POLAND — Jenifer Boyd of Poland recently attended Modern Woodmen of America’s Merit Club Leadership Conference in Orlando, Fla.
Boyd was one for approximately 430 youth service club leaders from across the United States who earned the opportunity to take part in the conference. While in Orlando, she attended educational and motivational workshop sessions, networked with other club leaders and gained new ideas for leading volunteer activities for kids.
Boyd, a Modern Woodmen youth service club leader for five years, qualified for the conference because her club completed a variety of projects in 2011. These projects focused on volunteerism, patriotism education and fun.
“Volunteer service is a main focus for our youth clubs and organization as a whole,” says Melissa Gottwalt, youth service clubs coordinator at Modern Woodmen;s home office in Rock Island, Ill.
Membership in a youth service club is one of the many fraternal benefits available to Modern Woodmen’s youth members. Modern Woodmen youth clubs have served children since 1942, and more than 900 clubs and their communities. This is accomplished through social, charitable and volunteer activities.
