United Way plans two-day youth event

United Way of Kootenai County is planning a two-day program focused on helping high school students lead and engage in service projects that transform lives.

"Project Spring Break" scheduled March 23 and 24 provides students with the chance to work together, connect with others from different high schools, and learn about the needs of homeless in the community and how they can make a difference

About 60-80 high school students from Timberlake, Lakeland, Lake City, Coeur d'Alene, and Post Falls high schools are expected to participate.

Over two days, they'll complete service projects, listen to guest speakers and sleep outside under tarps.
