I have had the pleasure of being a Concord Youth Council member my entire high school career. This group of fellow students and friends has inspired me to be the best version of myself. Getting into Youth Council was a pleasant surprise, which I immediately took on as an obligation. I did what was required but I never fully got into the ‘volunteering’ side Youth Council offers until basketball season ended.
We look forward to seeing you in our parks and on our greenways.
Then suddenly, I was like, ‘hey, why not fill my free time with more hours from Youth Council?’ Volunteering challenged me to step out of my comfort zone but quickly gave me a sense of accomplishment, to keep pushing myself and wanting to help more and more people.
Given the opportunity to serve in leadership roles at The Community Free Clinic, the Spring Into Arts Festival, Greenway Adventures and Toddler Trails programs, the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting and many more projects, taught me skills that I know will help me succeed in life. Overall, being a member of Youth Council encouraged me to be responsible while creating lifelong friendships built through the pure drive to help others. It has provided me with a community of people that share the simple desire to improve Concord through service acts, and for that I am grateful. .....

My junior year I volunteered 56 hours! This made me proud of myself, not just because of the number, but what it meant to help others in need or to volunteer for events that would not have been the same without Youth Council volunteers.
