program mobilizes students, 13 to
18 years of age, who lend helping
hands were they are needed most:
in libraries, day care centers,
recreation programs, offices,
museum programs, hospitals.
environmental agencies and
programs for people who are
elderly or developmentally
disabled.
More than ninety non-profit
organizations in Durham benefit
from the best efforts of Durham
youth.
Annually, these young people are

certificate of appreciation and 33 of
them received a special award from
Durham’s mayor for donating
hours above and beyond the
required minimum. These 33 also
received an individual picture with
the mayor.
The great value of this effort was
reflected by guest speaker Alison
Kim McLaurin, a former YVA
member, who went on to receive
her master’s degree and is now a
features writer for The News &
Observer newspaper.
Ms. McLaurin spoke on the
reality of negative media and the
effecgs on the young. She also said
that we all should come out of the
"me" and become part of the "we"
generation by giving of ourselves
to help others.
The YVA group represents many
nationalities, religions and financii
strata. A perfect mixture of youth
who do not believe in the "lost
generaticn" theory. They prove that
youth can be found doing that
which will make' tomdnrow a better
world by giving of themselves with
love and caring.
The future of our community depends on you, our young people. And
it’s important for you to know that the business community is proud of
your achievements. We believe all children can achieve. And for those
students who worked hard to make the "A" Honor Roll, we are especially
proud of you.
We encourage you to fly even higher in your pursuit of excellence.
Remember, you are only limited by your imagination.
