MYC Youth Council is a leadership and community service-based organization comprised of Afterschool 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! This month Youth Council has been very busy involving themselves in various events and helping around the Youth Center! For our first meeting, we took the initiative to create a new set of Kindness Rocks, which we will be hiding along the Upper Charles Trail at the end of the month!
For the month of May, the Youth Council is planning on attending several events in the community of Milford, as well as District Attorney Joseph D. Early’s annual Student Wellness Conference, which will be held at Worcester State University this year! The kids are so excited to offer their assistance to the community for all of these upcoming events; including Milford Family Bridges night at Woodland Elementary on May 6th, Celebrate Milford on May 18th, and of course the MYC’s annual “Dressed Up, Not Messed Up” Fashion Show on June 8th!
Despite not being able to have a meeting for the second week of April due to our AmeriCorps member and Youth Council Leader Marissa attending the annual SCI Luncheon in Boston, Youth Council members still were busy helping out at the Youth Center! Thanks to the generosity of Liz Harkins and the rest of the crew at MilfordTV, the kids were able to film and edit even more new programs that were offered this month, including Sign Language and Gardening Club! As always, the kids did an amazing job filming and had a lot of fun! Again, thank you so much to everyone at MilfordTV for allowing the kids to explore such a cool career option!
For the final week of April, the kids went over their involvement in several upcoming events for the Youth Center and the Community! On Saturday, April 27th the Youth Council assisted in cleaning up the Upper Charles Trail for the fifth annual Milford Beautification Day! The kids got their own MYC Youth Council t-shirts, which they will be wearing to all future events!
