Program Description:
PULSE is made up of 15 students, one from each grade 8-12 from each of the three schools in Noble County. We meet monthly to discuss grants and service projects. Recently PULSE has begun an annual Senior Citizen Prom. Elderly citizens from the community were invited to eat, dance, and have fun for a night. Other projects PULSE is involved in include a Littlest Philanthropists program, Taste of Noble County, 4-H Co-sponsor of the day, and a new project known as "Spontaneous Servitude."
