End of an Era
As some of you may know I volunteer for my local council and am apart of the Youth Advisory Committee (YAC). I have been volunteering with them for 6 years and sadly had to retire from my position due to my move.
November was my last meeting and it was a little bittersweet. My final day volunteering was at my local Christmas Pageant.
I joined YAC in October of 2011, My Mum thought it would be a good idea to do an activity outside of school. I put in my application, went through an interview process and was accepted!
Over the 6 years of me being part of the committee I was apart of something amazing, we would put in so many events for the youth in my local area. Some of my favourite events and things about YAC were.
National Youth Week
Campbelltown Christmas Pageant
The Feeling of Family and Friendship
I started off as one of the youngest people in YAC and ended my time being one of the oldest and longest standing members at the time. I enjoyed my time so much and can't to help out in any way I can when I return home in 2019. I HIGHLY encourage everyone to take the time to volunteer for something at some point in your lives, where that be for your local council, soup kitchen or homeless shelter, It is such a rewarding experience and I made friends that will last me a lifetime whilst there.
