On August 30th Halton Hills council, recreation staff honoured our Youth Volunteers. Many of our youth have volunteered to support Town programs, initiatives and committees over the past year. On this night we honoured 150 volunteers from all over Halton Hills. Some of them volunteered for administrative tasks, summer camps, aquatic programs, special events and the Mayor's Youth Action Committee to give you an idea of what many have volunteered.
A volunteers gift of time not only adds value to community programs and events,it also impacts the lives of children and our community as a whole. Through mentor ship and leadership volunteers become a role model and friend while helping the community grow through positive experiences. Many of the volunteers have learned that volunteering is a rewarding and valuable experience that helps build self confidence, discover strengths and is an experience which will be with them their for life.
Our youth volunteers committed an amazing 7150 hours of their time to Town Services. The volunteers were recognized by signed certificates.
These kids made a difference this year with their hours of volunteering. It was a pleasure to recognize them for their contributions.
