The Angels of Hope was established in 2008 to mentor and encourage high school juniors to volunteer in the community. The purpose is very simple. The Angels of Hope program promotes an attitude of “Service Above Self” in teenagers. It teaches cancer awareness, encourages volunteer work and inspires girls to be leaders in the community. The program continues to be a great opportunity to mentor a new generation of young women who are as enthusiastic about helping cancer patients as are members of the 20th Century Club.
About the program
The program is available for 11th grade female students. Each Angel is responsible for achieving at least 25 hours of volunteer service for presentation at the 20th Century Club’s Hope Ball, held each spring. There are 18.5 hours earned through required activities at local hospitals with cancer treatment facilities, the 20th Century Club’s Lodge and cancer-related events, with the remaining hours achieved from a variety of other opportunities selected to fit a young girl’s busy schedule. Angels of Hope must follow strict guidelines when volunteering. Those include attire, communication, etiquette, etc. The Angels are led by a 20th Century Club officer and committee formed of mentors to guide the girls through their year of service.
