The Lake-Lehman Foundation
has found numerous ways over
the years to give back to the Lake-
Lehman School District, and the
organization gives high school
students the opportunity to do
the same.
The Lake-Lehman Foundation
internship program started just a
year after the foundation’s incep-
tion. Kelly Stepanski, intern and
alumni coordinator for the foun-
dation, said the goal was to show
students what the foundation
does and how young people
could help.
In addition, the intern program
provides sophomores, juniors
and seniors at Lake-Lehman Ju-
nior/Senior High School with in-
valuable experience in office
work and public relations to add
to their professional resumes.
“We started with one student
intern and this year we have sev-
en, with four more interested,”
said Stepanski.
Interns have performed a wide
range of duties throughout the
years, including helping with the
foundation’s annual tea at the
Hayfield House on the Penn State
Wilkes-Barre campus in Lehman
Township and emceeing at the

12 can find internship application forms on the Lake-Lehman Founda-
tion's page on the district's website at http://lake-lehman.ki12.pa.us.
first annual “Battle of the Bands”
competition at the football stadi-
um last summer.
“They get to learn things like
how fundraisers work and how
the meetings are run,” said Deb
Anderson, the Lake-Lehman
Foundation’s public relations co-
ordinator.
Seventeen-year-old Lauren
Boyle, of Sweet Valley, has been
working with the foundation for
the past year, but already has ex-
perience with nonprofit organiza-
tions.
“I do volunteer now - my mom
has a charity organization,” she
said. “I just like to help people
any way I can.”
Eliott Anderson, Deb Ander-
son’s 17-year-old son, learned
about the foundation through his
mother, but that didn’t stop him
from applying for the intern pro-
gram anyway.
“I enjoy helping out the school
and anything to better our com-
munity,” he said.
Eliott Anderson, of Shaver-
town, said his position within the
foundation has helped him gain

experience in his chosen field of
creative writing and marketing.
He plans to attend Penn State
Wilkes-Barre in the fall.
“It helped me see a lot of what
goes on behind the scenes and
what trials and obstacles people
face to get things done,” he said.
Boyle said her foundation ex-
periences will be helpful to her
college resume, but she states
that’s not the reason she decided
to work for the organization.
“I just like to volunteer,” she
said. “If no one does it, then who
will?”
Deb Anderson said there are
many Lake-Lehman alums who
return to the campus during cer-
tain events to help out the foun-
dation.
“It's wonderful to see,” she
said. “We don’t just have kids vol-
unteering - we want all ages to be
involved.”
Boyle said she’s always telling
her friends about the foundation,
and tries to encourage them to al-
so get involved.
“It just teaches you so much,”
she said.
