In the DC Youth Advisory Council, I have participated in many activities, but the one that stuck out to me the most was the Kingman Island cleaning. The council, along with several other groups helped in the beautification of the Kingman Island clean up. We walked up and down along the Anacostia River picking up trash and recyclables.
My experience with participating in this community service was amazing. I felt like I really made a difference after cleaning. I think participating in this activity brought us closer together, we laughed and I even fell in the mud, but at the end of the day, we grow a closer bond. We even had a contest to see who could collect the most bottles by the time we were ready to leave. I recommend youth to participate in the DC Youth Advisory Council to everyone especially those who enjoy teamwork and want to make a difference in their community just as I did.
