MYC Youth Council members had a snowy but productive March! In the beginning of the month the youth welcomed Cheylsea from New Hope, Inc., who held a workshop surrounding Mental Health Awareness and Suicide Awareness. Due to inclement weather, members could not meet again until the last week of March but that did not stop them from engaging in volunteerism!Throughout March the kids spent some time at Milford TV editing footage taken at the youth center!
The footage will be used for future news packages about the center. The kids also helped out with the March Madness tournament. One member helped ref games and other members filmed the games! Members also interviewed players and other youth center after-school members. MYC Youth Council members also helped take pictures of programming so that we could keep our social media pages up to date!
During the snowy days, a few youth council members participated in Operation Snowstorm run by Assistant District Attorney, Chuck Calagione!
Operation Snowstorm connects senior citizens to local youth who can shovel walkways in front of their homes!
The program helps keep our seniors safe and our students busy! MYC Youth Council members were going to attend the District Attorney, Joseph D. Early’s Student Wellness Conference at Anna Maria College in Paxton, MA. However, due to inclement weather the conference has been rescheduled for May 31st! Students will attend the conference then! MYC Youth Council members also participated in the Milford Family Fun and Disabilities Awareness Fair at Milford High School March 17th. The students ran resource table and shared information about the youth center with families and peers. The event was great! There was a ton of outreach and information for the community! Keep an eye out for the MYC Youth Council in April!
