Neighborhood House Youth Ambassador Reception

The Rochester Area Neighborhood House, a private, non-profit agency dedicated to assisting the community
during times of hardship, will be holding their Junior Ambassador Reception on Aug. 8th to introduce Kaylee Zajac as their 2012-2013 Junior Ambassador.

Zajac, a junior at Stoney Creek High School, spent the past year as the Neighborhood House Youth Committee Chairperson. This position allowed her the opportunity to recruit other youth into service, coordinate events and fundraisers for Neighborhood House, and work with the Junior Ambassador and Executive Director to help publicize the services and programs offered by Neighborhood House.

Zajac’s role as Junior Ambassador will allow her to interact with the Neighborhood House Board of Directors, executive director, and other staff and volunteers in an effort to gain experience in the areas of civic responsibility, community service, public speaking, fundraising, marketing, and fund development.

She will also have the opportunity to participate in Rochester Area Neighborhood House and other
community-related events and will gain valuable experience and leadership skills through her interaction
with the community.

Neighborhood House will also introduce Stoney Creek Junior Grace Nasr as their new Youth Committee Chairperson. Nasr will take over the duties vacated by Zajac and will work toward helping the Youth Committee grow in both number and outreach projects.

Riggs noted that the selection committee was impressed with Grace’s enthusiasm and initiative as well as her knowledge of Neighborhood House and her past involvement with the youth committee.

The reception will be held at Rochester Community House from 4–5 p.m. on August 8th and is
open to the public.
