One of the judges commented, “I liked the experiential learning and how the program serves as a platform for a student’s voice in the community (practice citizenship).”
YES! will be honored by Synergy & Leadership Exchange at the Character Recognition Awards ceremony May 25th at the State Office Building, beginning at 1:00 p.m.
