United Way Youth Day of Caring a Shining Success

May. 14, 2010

(Moncton – May 14, 2010) – Contributing. Connecting. Supporting.

These words summed it up. Everyone involved in the United Way second annual Youth Day of Caring agreed – the event was an outstanding success.

The Youth Day of Caring increased six-fold from the previous inaugural Day with more than 100 people involved. High school students had fun while connecting with younger students and contributing to many aspects of their communities.

The sun shone as trees were planted, flower beds weeded and tidied up, the Riverview bandstand and Sunny Brae Middle School swings were freshly painted for summer and walking trails prepared as area high school students enjoyed being out and fruitfully involved in the community.

“It was a great day. We got to help the community out, picking up garbage and helping the Town of Riverview. It felt really rewarding after we were done,” said Brett McNeill, a Grade 12 student from Riverview High School, who helped clear the walking trails near Claude D. Taylor School.

Andrew LeBlanc, Adult facilitator with the United Way Youth Relations Council, and Program Director for the Boys and Girls Club of Riverview, was extremely impressed with the work the youth accomplished. “I’m not going to lie. I think we had the best group and did the most work,” he said with a grin.

In keeping with current initiatives to promote healthy physical activities, students enjoyed recess games based on the In motion strategy. Students also participated in discussion groups aimed at encouraging community pride and preventing vandalism.

Coordinated by the United Way of Greater Moncton and Southeastern New Brunswick Region, the 2010 Youth Day of Caring benefited from additional support from the City of Moncton and the Town of Riverview, both of which contributed supplies.

“I enjoyed the experience because I discovered a part of the city I was not familiar with, and felt that I was able to make a difference,” said Christine Griffin from École l’Odyssée. As well as being a Grade 12 student, she is a member of the Moncton Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee and the United Way Youth Relations Council.
