It’s a wrap! On June 5th, the final Youth Council meeting for the school year was held. From the Veteran’s Day Parade to now, the group certainly made strides and Marissa, our Social Capital Inc. AmeriCorps member and the MYC staff cannot possibly thank the kids enough everything they’ve done this year!
The leadership group partook in numerous community events, as well as helping with out here at the MYC! Some events included the Milford Veteran’s Day Parade, decorating a tree for the Milford Gala of Trees, participating in the Santa Parade, decorating gifts to give our volunteers at the MYC Holiday Party, decorating our Community Outreach Board, learning how to properly use filming equipment with Liz Harkins from Milford TV, learning about banking and finance with Bill Stark from Commerce Bank, participating in the Milford Family Fun and Disability Awareness Fair, participating in Milford Beautification Day, participating in the Milford Family Bridges Night at Woodland Elementary School, assembling lawn games for our MYC Summer Camp, participating in District Attorney Joseph D. Early’s Student Wellness Conference, and creating our very own MYC Youth Council Time Capsule, which will be opened in 2034! Here’s to a great year full of community service, outreach, and volunteerism; and may there be many more! We hope to see everyone back next September and to have new members join!
