VERO BEACH — Join the festivities and make new friends at the Annual Youth Guidance Holiday Party on Dec. 15.
The celebration will be held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the St. Helen’s Catholic Church Gym, 2000 20th Ave. in Vero Beach. Over 150 volunteers are needed to construct holiday-themed crafts and play games with the youngsters while enjoying refreshments and music.
The Holiday Party takes place every December and has been a Youth Guidance tradition for numerous years to allow the children to begin the season with homemade treasures and treats as well as interact with positive adult role models.
Join Youth Guidance for this joyous occasion and help the kids have an unforgettable time. Close to 200 youngsters attend this festive event, and volunteers are needed to work one-on-one and assist them with their projects.
Through the generous support of our community members, we are able to give our children a memorable holiday with many exciting programs and activities.
The mission of Youth Guidance, a United Way partner agency, is to empower Indian River County’s neediest youth through mentoring relationships, and broaden their horizons with educational, cultural, and recreational opportunities.
The agency is actively seeking volunteers to serve as mentors or periodic volunteers to participate in the variety of group mentoring programs and ongoing activities for the unmatched children in the program, or to provide regular help in the office.
Youth Guidance is also looking for partnerships with businesses, service clubs, and church groups to pair with their unmatched children for just one activity a year.
