Giving Back The Voice

I had the most beneficial work placement back in December that I could have ever asked for. I spent three weeks interning at Macdonald Youth Services (MYS). They work hard to give youth a better life and to help prepare them for the "real" world and the harsh realities that come with it.

I enjoyed my time with them so much that I am continuing to volunteer with them. The youth that MYS helps are people that have had their voice taken from them because society has written them off. I want to help MYS give these youth their voice back. Everyone has something to say, it's a matter of getting people to listen.

Through MYS I will be working with their program coordinators to be able to tell the youth's stories. You can find these stories on the MYS website coming in February.

I hope that everyone will Take A Moment to read these stories as they deserve to be heard.
