Operation Snowflake

Operation Snowflake is a peer leadership training program designed to help middle school students cope positively with the problems and pressures of growing up. Operation Snowflake consists of a one day seminar that focuses on a variety of topics related to early adolescent concerns. “General sessions” are followed by small group discussion which are co-facilitated by an adult volunteer and a trained high school facilitator. The small group provides an opportunity for students to process information and practice leadership skills. The Grundy County Operation Snowflake event is conducted in the fall with students in grades sixth through eighth from throughout the county. Each of the participating schools have a limited number of students that may attend.

Information and permission forms are made available in the early fall. The available spots are filled on a “first come first serve basis”. The event is on a school day and students are responsible for getting and completing his or her homework on time. Students are transported by bus to the sight. The fee is typically $10.00 which includes a t-shirt and lunch.
