A note from LeeAnn Meads, Youthlinc Board President:
As we conclude our 2022 year and look forward to 2023 it is important to recognize all those that have worked so hard to continue the legacy of Youthlinc. We have a tremendous staff that shoulders heavy loads and does it with enthusiasm, kindness, creativity, and optimism.
All programs are continuing to rebound from the challenges of Covid 2020. We are adjusting and working hard to gain momentum as the new paradigm necessitates innovative problem solving to move programs in positive directions.
Real Life, GCL, Local Service Directory and our newest CONNECT are gaining traction, while Service Year and trips continue to require creativity. We are hoping to eventually rebound to our pre-Covid numbers and look for new ways to garner enthusiastic new recruits.
As the economy has hit each of us in different ways it has also impacted our Capital Campaign. We are trying to look outside the box for ways to fund and complete this most needed building. Our programs are in such need of a new expanded home. We continue to be optimistic that these funds can be acquired to move this most important project forward. With the addition of new board members and their varied expertise we are hopeful for new ideas and contacts to make this happen.
2023 look out! We are going to move and shake this year!
