Project 351 celebrates the power of young people as a force for positive change in their communities and our Commonwealth. Through service, leadership development, enrichment, and friendship with a statewide community of peers, Ambassadors build skills and confidence, explore issues, embrace leadership, and motivate a lifetime of service.
Project 351's programmatic focus is to inspire, enrich, and enable the service leadership and civic engagement of our 8th grade Ambassadors. The Ambassador term spans a calendar year and includes four cornerstone platforms for development. Launch Celebration & Service Day in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., at Faneuil Hall and Massachusetts State House; Leadership Reunion for skills development and service learning; and two statewide service days -- Spring Greening with Cradles to Crayons and Fall Service supporting local food banks across the state.
We as a Nichols' faculty voted who would be the best 8th grade student to represent the Town of Middleborough at this day of service and though we had many worthy students, Owen was voted to be our representative.
When Owen talked about his involvement with Project 351 to the School Committee, he spoke about his experience and highlighted how honored he was to be chosen. Owen will continue his work throughout the rest of the year as he will try to help with Cradles to Crayons.
Congrats, Owen, for representing us so well not only during your Project 351 Day of Service, or at the School Committee Meeting, but each day as a great Nichols Tiger.
