BCTC STUDENT SELECTED TO SERVE ON
YOUTH FOUNDATION
Amy Dreibelbis, a student in the Health Related Technology Program at BCTC,
East Campus, will serve as the Career Center's representative on the Youth
Advisory Committee of the Berks County Community Foundation. Dreibelbis is a
junior at Brandywine Heights Area High School and the daughter of Ricky
Dreibelbis and Bonnie Spitale.
The Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) comprises 25-30 teens in grades 9 through 12
from across Berks County who contribute their time and talents to practice
philanthropy on issues facing their peers in Berks County. The Board of
Directors of the Berks County Community Foundation approved the creation of YAC
in order to give interested Berks County youth hands-on experience in making
decisions on grants. The foundation strongly believes that young people should
be able to participate in community decisions that affect them and their peers.
Since its inception in 1998, YAC has selected and assisted 15 agencies to
receive grants totaling approximately $60,000.
As a student in BCTC's Health Related Technology program, Dreibelbis's
concentration is physical therapy and pre-professional holistic care. She plans
to attend college to study surgical technology. She holds officers' position in
two of BCTC's career and technical student organizations (CTSO). She serves as
the Career Center's East Campus chapter secretary for HOSA (Health Occupations
Students of America) and holds the office of vice president of SkillsUSA-VICA. |
