Communications EXPLORERS POST

The Communications Explorers Post is for young people ages 15 to 20 who are interested in pursuing a career in the communications field. Exploring is a national program of Learning for Life. Exploring’s purpose is to provide experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Organizations that sponsor Explorers posts match their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow and develop. Exploring programs are based on five areas of emphasis: career opportunities, life skills, citizenship, character education and leadership experience.

Students from any area high school are welcome to join. Charter members of Communications Explorers Post 3411 were Claire Anderson, Jay Copland, Kelly Dwyer, Lauren Effertz, Jennifer Krane, Maggie Langford and Kelly Slater of Benilde-St. Margaret High School; Caitlyn Duggan, J.D. Loyle and Jack Swiler of Edina High School; Ingrid Curtis, Julia Neal and Marion Canales of St. Louis Park High School; and William Kenney of Totino-Grace High School.

Lauren was elected the Post’s first President. Jay and William were named Vice Presidents and Kelly Slater Secretary. They will serve as officers through January 2012.
