“Our departing Kid Nation Captains had fun-filled and extremely productive two-year terms, but it’s time for us to bring in a new group of eager and enthusiastic young Red Sox fans,” said Lynne Bohan, a Hood spokesperson. “We’re excited to get this process started and begin talking to new candidates about what they’d like to accomplish as Captains.”
Each Captain must be willing to commit to a two-year term, during which he/she will:
• Develop and implement a community service project that will be supported by Hood, the Red Sox and all of Kid Nation.
• Do whatever it takes to make Red Sox Kid Nation the BEST kids’ club in all of baseball!
There are plenty of benefits that come with the responsibilities. Each of the 12 Captains selected will win the following:
