Youth Academy gives back to the community

Secretary Reed visited the Washington Youth Academy in Bremerton, and gave a presentation on community service and encouraged students to get involved in small ways. His theme, "Find Your One Thing," inspires citizens to give back to their communites, state and country just one single action and small step at a time to make a difference.

Students at the Academy are familiar with community service since it takes at least 40 service hours to graduate from the program. Although, many students volunteer more than the minimum requirement. Several students today spent their time volunteering at a local park which was nearly forced to shut down due to city budget cuts. The Academy was asked to take it on as one of their service projects. Students maintain the park in every aspect, from weeding and picking up garbage to painting over graffiti on park benches.
