Okay, so it's not all fun and games. There's
some volunteer work too, but that can be fun! Meet new people, have a good time, get some positive recognition. Who knows,
maybe win an award! ---------------------------
There is a "Calendar of Events" near the beginning of the ACS phone book with information on some of the major and annual events in Juneau. United Way recently launched www.JuneauYouth.org with
an up to date, age sorted calendar plus a great list of "other resources". Every Thursday, the Juneau Empire has a calendar of the weeks events, also available
under the "Arts and Culture" section of their website. The Capital City Weekly also puts out a calender of events happening
"Around Town". The best new calendar in town is the
KRNN/JAHC calendar available from either website with tons of stuff happening every day. You can even add this calendar
to your Google calender to quickly see it from your phone by adding juneauartscouncil@gmail.com
Fun, Friendly, Fabulous
-Click here for a list of 34 Things to do in Juneau-
The Pipeline Skate Park
"Open" 9am to 11pm most days. Bring your board or skates, or go hang out and watch. 2400 Mendenhall Loop Road on the
opposite side of Egan Drive as the Mendenhall Mall.
Girl Scouts
You may have been in Girl Scouts as a little kid, sitting around doing arts and crafts all day, but that's not what it's
all about. It is WAY more fun as a high schooler than a little kid. Girl Scouts can be your ticket to FREE college, traveling
the world, meeting friends, hiking, camping, learning interesting and useful life skills, and so much more. 586-1710
Boy Scouts
Scouts are the way to go. Right now, one of the Boy Scout groups is working on making a co-ed adventure group to go ice
climbing, rock climbing and white water rafting, who knows! Get involved- join Scouts. 789-8440
Perseverance Theatre
Ever wanted to become a Broadway actor? No? Maybe you're interested in making things like props, sets, and costumes. Or
maybe hanging around the theater helping out by running lights/sound, handing out programs, or moving things on and off stage
is something you'd be into. The trick is, you get to help out, do something cool and interesting, meet all the stars, AND
you get free tickets to the performances. They always need help. 364-2421
