Volunteers from Prior Lake High School’s Junior Optimist Club are a group of student volunteers that spend time at Catholic Charities sites across the metro area. The Junior Optimist Club has helped nurture a culture of volunteerism at Prior Lake High School – thanks to the students there. One of their student ambassadors, Maren, explained how the club has created a culture at the high school that attracts new students to their cause. “When younger students get to the school they meet and look up to people who are in the Junior Optimist Club”, she said, “so when people become a part of it, and even after they outgrow it, volunteering is something they want to do.” Peyton, a student at Prior Lake, is a great example: he got involved with the Junior Optimists right away his freshman year thanks to a friend’s recommendation.
