The Civic Circle has an opening on our Youth Council, a volunteer position that involves volunteering at Civic Circle events, promoting and supporting our organization as an ambassador in the community, and helping ensure that our programs are responsive to and relevant to Montgomery County’s youth. This is an outstanding opportunity for a high school or college student who has a passion for democracy issues and civic life, and would like to learn more about entrepreneurial leadership and nonprofit management. To learn more about The Civic Circle, visit www.theciviccircle.org. To apply, please contact Conner Barron at cbarron@theciviccircle.org.
