YOUTH SPOTLIGHT: Memorial Youth Employment Crew Members

Memorial Community Development Corp Summer Youth Employment Program thoroughly removed trash and weeds near the Pigeon Township Trustee office. The crew demonstrated teamwork, grit, and a willingness to go above and beyond to make sure the area is clean and beautiful. Marci Barr of Pigeon Township shared “Each member of the group worked together seamlessly, showing how much can be accomplished when everyone contributes. One young man stood out for his exceptional dedication. He took great pride in his work, even going so far as to pull weeds out with his bare hands.”
