The Live Spot Action Team is a unique program that prepares high school aged youth for leadership, responsibility and jobs. Action Team members are a crucial part of the Live Spot team and have the opportunity to create and implement activities for the participants at the Live Spot, attend life skills workshops every Wednesday, support Live Spot special events, such as helping staff our junior high dances, and do extra activities in the community. Recently, the Action Team helped support the Salvation Army's 'Angel Tree Gift Distribution' in December. It was a lot of fun and we're glad to be able to help out with such a great project, thank you Salvation Army! We're always planning more great community service projects so if you're interested in giving back to Oroville then consider joining us!
