This is the first year that participants in our Teen Leadership Program took part in YouthFest. The teen leaders were able to give back to their community by participating in the weeklong alternative spring break program. The students, many of whom were former participants, were able to build a wheelchair accessible ramp for the homeowner and complete demolition work on a dangerous front porch. “I’m so proud of the work they did,” said Caitlin Speigle, coordinator at Camp Shawnee. “They are showing real maturity by using their spring break to serve others.”
