EB Youth Council November Newsletter!

Happy November, Youth Council!

As 2024 is wrapping up, it is a great time to start thinking about how you can earn your 15 hours of community service. Check out the list to see all the fun Youth Council activities going on this month!

**REMINDER: You MUST wear your green Youth Council shirts to volunteer events. Failure to do so may result in you receiving a No Show for that event. If you need an extra Youth Council shirt, we have plenty! Stop by the Recreation Office (334 Dunhams Corner Road) Monday-Friday, 8:30am-4:30pm. Thank you.**


Looking ahead to December:

  • Winter Wonderland is on December 7th, and we need volunteers! Check out Volunteer Matrix on November 17th at 5pm for the available shifts.

  • Earn 2 hours at our Winter General Meeting on December 15th from 5-7pm at the Community Arts Center (721 Cranbury Road).

Social:
