This year's Youth Appreciation Day will be held at the Youth Center on Wednesday, May 30th from 6-8pm. Youth Appreciation Day is a night for us to recognize the outstanding work and achievements accomplished by our Youth Center volunteers. The night is filled with recognition awards, gifts, a cookout, and wise words from a guest speaker. This event is by invitation only, and is held for middle school and high school students that volunteer in our leadership programs. We hope to see all of our volunteers there! This year's guest speaker is Youth Center alumni, Kevin Reyes! This NA alumni had a decorative career as a North Andover High School Scholar Athlete contributing to the Football, Track and Baseball programs. Kevin continued his academic and athletic endeavors at Bates College studying social psychology and playing all four years with the football team. Presently, Kevin aspires to work as a Nurse and is currently working in the Emergency Department at Mass. General Hospital.

Throughout his time in North Andover, Kevin would like to highlight his volunteer work and membership with the North Andover Youth Services program as "one of the most positive experiences that I have ever had and truly grateful to be a part of". |
