UW participates in National Youth Services day

The Youth United Way recently participated in the 17th Annual National Youth Service Day by leading a service project at the Cape Girardeau Boys and Girls Club.

Youth United Way members assisted with the after school program, tutored children, led activities and provided snacks. Youth Service Day is sponsored by Youth Service America, a national not-for-profit resource center committed to growing the youth service movement.

The Youth United Way is a United Way initiative that helps youth build an understanding of community needs and promotes volunteerism in those who participate, as well as the whole youth community.
