Girl Scouts
Volunteer
Eight teenage girls in Rappahannock's Girl Scout Cadette troop are learning the practical side of child health care, and at the same time earning a badge in Volunteer work by donating their after school hours once a week at Sursum Corda Child Care and Learning Center.
Members of the Girl Scout Cadette Teacher’s Aide program include: Gabby Lee, Jennifer Vierling, Kelly Brown, Nikki David, Nicole Maeyer, Donna Foster, Amy Ay lor and Carrie Coombs.
The girls take turns, two each Tuesday, working in the Sursum Corda nursery from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Nine toddlers, all under 16 months (five are less than a year old) are enrolled in the nursery, but on the average five or six are on hand on any given day.
Four other high school girls also serving as Volunteer Teacher’s aides include: Gina Manwaring, Tara Fisher, Kimberly Woodward, and Scandinavian exchange student Maarit Nord.
Arlene Frye, nursery teacher, assigns the girls chores ranging from changing diapers and crib sheets to preparing charts, cleaning up and providing tender loving care to the infants. Frye says there have been no problems and she recommends all of the girls for baby sitting.
Sursum Corda Executive Director Camille Harris estimates that the teenage volunteers save the Center approximately $2,000 a year in staff costs.
Any young people interested in applying for the volunteer program should contact Harris or Volunteer Coordinator Leslie King at 675-3237.
