Giving Back
Seattle Student Leadership Committee (LC) is a group of committed Summer Search Seattle students who are interested in being leaders for fellow Summer Searchers. This year’s group of LC members contributed to Summer Search in many ways, including organizing the logistics of events, leading training sessions for their peers on being an ambassador for Summer Search, and implementing our first ever senior class gift. The money our seniors donated was matched by a generous donor and went directly towards the purchase of headlamps for all new sophomores preparing for their wilderness trips. A big thank you to this year's group for their energy, commitment and passion!
