Purple Team: Get behind-the-scenes in the Museum's ZOOMzone. Prepare and facilitate activities for Museum visitors! Create an SOS magazine, Web page or video in the CDMedia.Studio.

Orange Team: Be a mentor and a friend to a little one at the CET Head Start Pre-School. Share a lunch, read a book, play games and teach a child.

Green Team: Become a River Guardian on the Environmental Team! Conduct water quality tests and clean the river, plant a tree, paint a mural - spend two weeks of fun in the sun.

Red Team: Show your multiple talents on this leadership and community outreach team. Serve food to the hungry, help decorate for community events, spread goodwill and make a difference.

Just for 10th Graders!
