If you have any questions let Samantha Wright know

Are you interested in leading a project???

We have two immediate opportunities!

We need one youth to work directly with Amy Baird on Christmas in the Heart of Draper. We prefer someone who is familiar with this event. She has most of the night planned, and needs help with organizing the youth and assigning jobs and areas. You would serve as the main point of contact for the event and be responsible for communication. This is one of our four big community events and has high visibility with our residents. It is a great time and a great way to show your leadership abilities.

Also, we need a youth to head up the city wide food drive this year! Leading a project of this size takes organization skills and great follow through. This type of activity looks fantastic on college and scholarship applications and is a great benefit to the community and the Utah Food Bank. Last year we collected over 2,600 lbs of food, which is fantastic for a first year. We hope to have barrells placed in more businesses this year. The main responsibilities will be getting barrells placed, assigning DYC youth to check and collect food, and doing the final weigh-in.

When we look at officer appointments, we look at leadership abilities. If you have successfully run a large DYC event or project, this is considered strongly!

If you are interested in either opportunity, please contact me at 801-414-2992 or just post to the comments in this blog. I am happy to answer any question before you commit.

Thanks!

The Road Home is Cancelled

They have changed their policy this year. No Canyon's School District students under 18 are able to volunteer at the family location in Midvale anymore. This is to protect the youth who live there.

I am sorry for the disappointment. We will discuss the option of helping with the shelter downtown at our next meeting and see if this is something you would like added to the calendar for sometime in January or February.

Thank you for your willingness to serve.

Gwendolyn

DYC Tonight Nov. 2nd

We are meeting in the court room downstairs at City Hall from 5:30pm-7pm. We will be talking about the Christmas in the Heart of Draper, Food Drive, Road Home, Race, Leadership conference in Clinton, and if we have time left over we will do the game, "Where do you stand."

Haunted Hollow Tonight!

Hi Everyone,

Here are the stations you signed up to help with tonight, thank you! Remember, Haunted Hollow is now a mandatory event so if you can't make it be sure to let Samantha Wright or Samantha Anderson know. Please dress warm, getting sick just in time for Halloween would be no fun!

DYC Tonight!

We are doing team building activities (thanks Samantha Anderson) and then taking a haunted canoe ride in the Provo River. We don't want you walking river banks in high heels or getting cold! So, please be sure to wear tennis shoes and dress warm.

We will also discuss a possible DYC leadership retreat on November 12th and 13th. The Clinton Youth Council has invited us to join their leadership retreat, along with 3 other youth councils. It should be fun if we can pull it off. We definitely want your input!

We will leave City Hall promptly at 5:35 PM to arrive on-time for our reservation. Please be on time!

Thanks,
Gwendolyn

DYC Tomorrow

October 19th be at Draper city hall in the courtroom right at 5:30. We are going down to Provo for some fun! Let Samantha Wright or Sierra Maughn know if you cannot come.
