MyCom Monday Hi-Five Shaker Heights Youth
Seven middle and high school students from the Shaker Heights Youth Center assisted with set-up, activities, and tear-down at the Shaker Square Alliance sponsored festival on the South Lawn of Shaker Square.
The weather was excellent and turnout was great with several elected officials and dignitaries in attendance, including Councilwoman Deborah Gray, Municipal Judge Lauren Moore, and City of Cleveland Community Relations Board Chairman Rev. Charles Lucas.
Shaker Heights Youth Center has served the area for over 50 years, developing extensive academic and prevention programming to address the ever changing needs of adolescents and their families. The Shaker MyCom Youth Development Initiative continues to provide community service opportunities as an integral component of its youth development programming.
Photos were provided by former Cleveland City Council President Jay Westbrook and food for volunteers was provided by Brandon Chrostowski, founder of the EDWINS Leadership and Restaurant Institute.
