This Is Why I Am Here!!!

Before joining the District of Columbia Youth Advisor Council (DCYAC), I didn’t have any desire to address or change the issues in my community. I walked around with the attitude of if something didn’t directly affect me, then it didn’t concern me. However the DCYAC quickly fixed that. Since I became a member of the DCYAC, I have notice that all it takes is a few dedicated people—in our case, youth—to make a different in their community. I have participated in clothing drives, advocacy projects and even blood drive since I’ve been a member. This is a wonder program for those who have or want the ability to see a problem and not just complain about it, but fix it.
