Generation SERVE teens and parents participate together, providing visitor education on water safety and drowning prevention at McKinney Falls State Park. This placement is a great fit for teens who like to meet new people, spend time outdoors and gain leadership experience. This program is a partnership with Colin's Hope, an organization that provides water safety and drowning prevention education, and Texas Parks & Wildlife, which preserves and manages the state's parks.
It is FREE to participate, but we suggest a donation of $100 per family to help cover the cost of training, supplies, and facilitation. All events take place at McKinney Falls State ParkProgram requirements:

For teens who are ready for a leadership role within our organization, we offer the summer Teen Leadership Program. This program gives middle school and high school students the opportunity to complete leadership training during the summer months and to become Teen Leads and Co-Leads for our Family Volunteering Program.
To join this program, teens must complete an application and interview process and be selected by our Program Director and Teen Advisory Board. |

Volunteering alongside a parent or guardian is still incredibly valuable for teens. On our monthly Activity Calendar, we offer many volunteer activities for youth ages 12+ and their families to volunteer at activities that are longer and more extensive than the activities offered to other age groups. We understand that youth ages 12 and older are capable of staying focused for longer periods of time and completing more complicated work, so we seek out opportunities for these youth and their families to serve our partner nonprofits in very meaningful ways.
