INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Get in the holiday spirit and celebrate with children at the Youth Guidance Annual Christmas Party.  The festivities will be held Saturday, December 4, 10 am to noon at the Elks Lodge, 1350 26th Street, Vero Beach.  Youngsters will enjoy crafts, holiday food and Christmas carols during this celebration.

The Christmas Party is always held on the first Saturday of December to allow kids to start the season with homemade goodies, food and fun!  Please join Youth Guidance during this festive occasion and help the children have an unforgettable time.

Many kids will attend the event and over 100 volunteers are needed to work hand- in-hand and assist the youngsters with their projects.  Through the generous support of the community, we are able to give our children a memorable holiday season with many exciting activities.

The primary purpose of Youth Guidance is to match each of its nearly 700 at-risk K-12 grade children with a volunteer mentor 21 years or older.
