This past month has been very busy for MYC Youth Council! Youth Council is a leadership and community service-based organization comprised of After school members of all ages striving to make a difference in the community through facilitating several youth community events as well as taking part in volunteer opportunities!
The first weekend of this month, Youth Council voted on a theme for the MYC float for the Santa Parade and settled on Polar Express! Youth Council was also fortunate to have Muffin from the Milford Junior Women’s Club reach out and ask us to decorate a tree for their annual Gala of Trees event! Our tree theme this year was Milford!
Youth Council also decided to give back to the MYC’s wonderful volunteers, who have become like family to us at the MYC by decorating ornaments to hand out at our holiday party, which was hosted thanks to the many generous organizations and
individual donors who offered to sponsor children at the Youth Center for their holiday gifts!
For our final meeting of the month, Youth Council was joined by Ana Paulino, the founder of Michael’s Mission ’97 and U Matter! We all would like to give Ana a huge thank you for sharing her story with us and for asking us to be involved with her wonderful projects!
