“Preparing for Our Future by Preserving Our Past”
Coordinated by South Western Student Council, Host of the 2008 PASC State Conference
The National Park Service, founded in 1916, preserves unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The Park Service cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world. In an increasingly uncertain world, we can become better leaders and people who are working for a better future by learning from our past. To promote that endeavor, PASC and the South Western Student Council have partnered with the National Park Service and their Centennial Initiative to coordinate a state service project that seeks to raise funds, awareness, and commitment to the educational value of our National Park System and the 26 Pennsylvania sites.
State Service Project... easy as 1, 2, 3
1. Raise Funds
Use the leadership capacity of your Student Council and generosity of your school and community to raise funds to help financially support the National Park Service’s educational and outreach programs. Each PASC member school is challenged to raise a minimum of $400 to prepare for the future by preserving our past. Suggested fundraising ideas, reporting forms, and additional information can be found at www.origins2008.org and supporting media for the NPS Centennial Initiative is available at www.nps.gov/2016. Your financial support will provide for the greatest impact!
2. Volunteer
In addition to raising funds, your Student Council may want to seek out volunteer opportunities at your local NPS site. Some sites are suited for large groups to volunteer while others can only accommodate small groups or individuals. For your local NPS contact and more information, go to www.origins2008.org
3. Visit
Lastly, your Student Council could arrange a fieldtrip to experience the educational and inspirational value of local NPS sites. In addition, you could promote NPS and the Centennial Initiative throughout your school and community. For your local NPS contact and more information, go to www.origins2008.org
