On Tuesday August, 26th Brighton Center’s Youth Leadership Development Program and Children’s Hospital’s Child Life Team partnered up for a day of painting during United Way’s Annual Community Care Week.
Youth Leadership Development (YLD) is a 34 week after school prevention program for youth in grades 5-8 in the communities of Newport, Dayton, and Silver Grove Kentucky. YLD works with youth on building their self esteem, making healthy decisions, team building and strives to get kids actively involved and giving back to their communities through service learning.
The Youth Leadership Development (YLD) classroom, which is housed in one of Brighton Center’s community buildings, was in need of a little TLC. The staff from Children’s Hospital Child Life took on this project with excitement and enthusiasm.
The room received freshly painted walls. The Children’s Hospital Child Life staff was thorough and precise making sure all needs were met to create a beautiful space for Brighton Center’s YLD youth to learn and have fun. The best part of this Community Care Week project was youth and adults working together to accomplish a goal. It teaches us all that partnerships made up of any age, can accomplish wonderful things when we work together.
