 RECRUITING
VOLUNTEERS
|
Parents.
Parents are usually enthusiastic about volunteering for
Lice Busters Programs, as they do not want their children or
anyone else's children to have lice.
Interns.
Student interns from UCSC can help run your lice busters
program. Contact Mike Rotkin at the community studies department
at 459-4601 (openup@cats.ucsc.edu) or Elizabeth Dilkes at the
psychology field study program at 459-4410 (edilkes@cats.ucsc.edu.)

Websites.
A special kit for PTA groups to help them
organize a lice elimination program is available at: http://www.liceangels.com/downloads.htm
(in the Educational Downloads Sections of their website). |

| RAISING MONEY
Service clubs. Your local community service clubs may help with
donations. These include Rotary, Lions, Shriners, PTA,
Soroptimists, etc. In addition to donations, community service
clubs may be able to provide other forms of assistance. For
example, the Salinas Steinbeck Rotary Club in District 5240 has a
program called “Stop Lice Plus.” The program is available to other
Rotary Clubs and community service agencies around the country. If
you want to get your local Rotary Club or other service clubs to
start their own “Stop Lice Plus,” contact Steve Steigman for more
information at steves@redshift.com. |

Grant proposals.
Lice Angels at
http://www.liceangels.com/downloads.htm
has an excellent sample grant proposal. It is designed for use by
educational or health organizations .
Other assistance. Your local Chamber of Commerce may help find
businesses who would make a donation. Local community
service clubs may help with donations. |

TAKING ACTION.
It is important that all school
personnel in contact with children understand and know how to deal with
the issue of lice. In our Lice Busters packet, we have provided booklets
for parents about lice treatment and prevention. Because there is much
conflicting information about lice, most agencies in the county will be
distributing the same materials and advocating for the same treatments. |
