It’s always great to see the diverse audiences that the YAC program involves. When you have a program that reaches state-wide, you will find different structures, different members, and different community projects. With that said, the overall YAC program is just as diverse as the young people involved in its efforts. Very cool, right?
I had the privilege of traveling to Jonesboro to meet with the Craighead County YAC last Thursday. The Craighead County YAC meets at City Youth Ministries every month or so and has about 10 members. Jerry, Lisa, and Blake are the three advisors that are supporting the YAC and their community efforts. At the meeting we discussed different opportunities for them to help out in the community. They listed possible community service projects. They also discussed potential grant opportunities for school organizations that work to enable students to have a voice. It was a great meeting with lots of valuable discussion. We’ll be seeing great things from the Jonesboro YAC AND I have no doubt that we’ll see them at YAC ATTACK!
Until then...
