Congratulations to the DCA Youth Leadership Board on an incredible inaugural year! (Anden, Kaitlyn, Maya, Sadie, Claire, Ally, Maddie and not pictured, Addie and Will)
We are so proud of all that this remarkable group has accomplished. As the very first class, they helped create the board’s mission and thoughtfully considered the impact they wanted to have on our community. Their leadership, dedication, and vision set a strong foundation for the future.
This year, the YLB:�
✨ Raised $5,000 to establish a new scholarship for DHS students�
✨ Volunteered at the Community-Wide Volunteer Fair and at the �
✨ Supported sustainability efforts in the Bird Sanctuary & Nature Trail
Along the way, they worked collaboratively, grew as leaders, embraced service, and, most importantly, had fun. They were very proud to receive the Outstanding Volunteer Team award.
Their commitment doesn’t end with the school year. This summer, YLB members will continue volunteering through the Upcycle School Supply Drive, at the Thrift Shop, and in the Bird Sanctuary & Nature Trail.
We are grateful for everything this group has contributed and can’t wait to see what they accomplish next year.
Applications for the 2026–27 Youth Leadership Board will open in mid-August.
Thank you, YLB, for an outstanding year. We wish you a wonderful summer!
The YLB extends heartfelt thanks to the local businesses whose generosity helped make the new scholarship possible: , Bankwell, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and and
