Leesburg Today - The Journal of Loudoun County - Teens Team Up With Local Nonprofits This Summer

Leesburg Today - The Journal of Loudoun County - Teens Team Up With Local Nonprofits This Summer: "For most teens, summer is a free-for-all of days spent at the mall, hanging with friends at the pool, or staying out late and sleeping in even later. But for a select few Loudoun high school students participating in the Claude Moore Community Builders program, the time away from school means more time to serve their community. Heritage High School Junior Navjot Sagoo spends his summer days with a group of new friends as he volunteers for Leesburg's Recreational Outreach to Community Kids program, known commonly as ROCK, a neighborhood outreach program created through the collaboration of the town's parks and police departments. Sagoo serves as a camp counselor to children ages 5 to 12 and signed on to spend at least 40 hours with the program this summer."
