This year, the United Way of Tri-County will be partnering with many of our local community organizations to engage over 600 youth in GYSD projects and events. For more information about how to get involved visit our website www.uwotc.org or contact Robyn McLaughlin robyn.mclaughlin@uwotc.org.

On Thursday, April 22nd, Operation Fresh Start will Celebrate Earth Day by participating in a conservation project at Turville Point Conservation Park. The event will consist of preparing the park's woods for a controlled burn by moving leaves and brush away from oak and hickory trees, planting prairie and woodland plants, or resurfacing trail segments with crushed limestone. The specifics of the project will depend upon which tasks are most appropriate and needed on the day of the event.

Youth will be involved in engaging the community in the challenges and issues they face.
