| Serteen Program |
Youth are the future of society – and of Sertoma. Serteens are young men and women, ages 11 to 19, who are interested in the world around them and who are motivated to improve their world through SERrvice TO MAnkind. The Serteen program is a great avenue for teens to identify and contribute to community needs. In addition, Serteen involvement also fulfills the community service requirement established by many schools. For more information, see Appendix A of the Serteen Manual or contact the Sponsorships Department at (800) 593-5646 or Click here for the “How To Build A Serteen Club” brochure. |
