Junior Civitan International is a student-led service organization for middle and high school students.
Junior Civitan International is a student-led service organization for middle and high school students established in 1927. There are over 4,000 Junior Civitan Members in 146 clubs in the United States and internationally. It is the longest running program of its parent organization, Civitan International. Of the 6 international Junior Clubs, 4 are in Canada, one of which is in Almonte.
The Almonte Junior Civitan Club, chartered in 2008 by the Almonte Civitan Club, is a community service organization for students in grades 7 to 12. Members meet at the Almonte Civitan Hall on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month at 7:00 p.m., beginning the third week in September and ending the third week in June each year.
Junior Civitan Members are credited with community volunteer hours for their help with projects. More importantly, Members learn leadership and teamwork skills and enjoy the fellowship of being part of a group that can make a difference in their community. It is important that the Almonte Junior Civitans develop their own service projects, examples of which include: supporting Christmas parades in Almonte and Pakenham, running dances with Carebridge Developmental Services, taking part in Remembrance Day ceremonies at the cenotaph, and supporting projects such as food drives and community events.
The Juniors also run major fundraisers. Fundraising allows them to support such organizations as:
- Lanark County Food Bank
- Mississippi Mills Youth Center
- Interval House
- Carebridge Developmental Services
- Almonte Civitan Accessible Family Playground
