    Are you interested in building your leadership skills and gaining a high-quality volunteer experience? Sign up for our Junior Leader Program to learn new skills and volunteer your time as a Trailblazers leader at Chester Area Middle School, Chester District School, or Bridgewater Junior High School! This program is aimed at youth who participated in Trailblazers before and have now aged out of the program, but anyone in grade 7+ is welcome to apply!

    This free program will begin with an orientation session where Junior Leaders will learn about the program, review the Junior Leader expectations, and get to practice leading activities and games in a safe and supportive environment. This 2.5-hour training will take place in early May. After completing the training, Junior Leaders will volunteer at the weekly Trailblazers sessions at their school.

    • Tuesday: CAMS (2:48 - 5:30pm) 
    • Wednesday: Bridgewater Jr High (2:35 - 5:00pm) 
    • Thursday: CDS (joining at CAMS dismissal, 2:48pm - 4:30pm)

    Interested in participating but not a student at a participating school? As long as you can get a ride to where the program takes place, you can apply to volunteer (homeschoolers welcome)!

    Please note that this program is application-based (not first-come, first served) and spaces are limited to 2-4 Junior Leaders per school. Applicants will be notified if they have been accepted within one week of applying. Those accepted will be sent a volunteer waiver to complete and provided with more details on the program.

    Every week, we will play active games, eat a healthy snack, do a focus activity (outdoor skill or nature exploration), and have dirt time (this is what we call free play). The key components will be consistent but each day will be different! We will walk back to CAMS for pickup at 5:30 PM in the parking lot.
