YOUTH SERVICE DAY RECAP

Red River High School English Language Learners, who are a part of the Resilient Youth Program, participated in Youth Service Day, April 11, 2014. Twenty-six New Americans, UND mentors, and Global Friends staff helped out at St. Joseph’s Social Care and Thrift Store and the Salvation Army. Hannah Bahnmiller, UND student, had obtained grant funding from Youth Service America and part of the requirements was to organize and participate in a service project. Thanks go out to Hannah for organizing these projects and for all of the participants.
