The St. George Youth City Council held a community dance on May 14 to raise money for the Washington County Youth Crisis Center. On May 31, the St. George Youth City Council presented 27 Wal-Mart gift cards worth $270 to the crisis center. The cards will be used to help crisis center patrons buy necessities such as clothing and shoes.
The Youth City Council Community Dance, started last year, is an annual event to engage the youth of St. George in a fun and safe environment to enjoy music, dancing, and games such as frisbee or volleyball.
The charter of the YCC is to engage with local government officials to understand how city government works and to do service projects which benefit the St. George community.
