Youth Council Corner

Jaden is a Taylorsville youth ambassador. As a youth ambassador, Jaden is asked to complete a service project of his choice.  Jaden has a strong desire to serve others and is a natural leader. He has decided to launch a food drive for Taylorsville’s food pantry. This came about because of a challenge that was given to all of the youth councils within the state of Utah. Once a year, the youth councils throughout the State attend a Leadership Institute conference at Utah State University.  

This year, the challenge was made to have a non-perishable food drive (see advertisement on following page).  The youth council members must create the event, advertise, coordinate with their local food bank, weigh their donations and submit their totals. If they win, a cash prize will be given to the winner’s youth council!  Jaden would love to have your support! He has arranged drop off locations at Taylorsville City Hall (first floor lobby) 2600 West Taylorsville Blvd. (5300 South) and also at the Taylorsville Senior Center located at 4743 Plymouth View Drive (1650 West). Donations can be made during regular business hours. All donations must be received by Friday, February 13, 2015 to be counted in the competition. Help Jaden “Weigh In” on the challenge, fill our local food pantry and bring home the prize!!!
