Northampton Area Konkrete Kids Educational Foundation is looking for volunteers. They are a nonprofit corporation dedicated to developing, promoting and financing innovative programs that supplement and enhance the quality of the school community, with extended learning opportunities and co-curricular experiences within Northampton Area School District.
Throughout the years, the foundation has donated more than $75,000 to the students and staff of the district to support these opportunities. The group funds numerous projects for the school district, including summer programs, field trips, technology purchases, artist-in-residence programs and tuition reimbursement for high school students who take college courses.
In order to fund these projects, the foundation has numerous fundraisers throughout the year, such as the golf tournament in June, an oldies dance in April and different student-based events.
The foundation needs ideas for additional fundraisers as well as people who can donate their time (as little or as much as possible) to help make these fundraisers a reality and to help the organization grow.
If you are interested in helping, heading a committee or participating in the governance of the foundation, contact Bill Conner, president, at 610-438-7076 or connerw66@msn.com.
