Speaker's Bureau
The Speaker’s Bureau gives youth in our community the opportunity for their voices to be heard. The youth work together on producing presentations for youth and adults. Various subjects that have been covered include: the tobacco industry and marketing to youth, a visual scan of Lancaster County, an interactive game show called “Are You on Target,” and they continue to develop more. This is an open group that Lancaster County high school students can be involved in. Email Tara: tnettifee@lcad.org for more information.
