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."
