Youth Group Gathering – March 15 | 4–6pm
Location: 6–12 Classroom, REZ Building
Facilitators: Bradley & Jess

Our March Youth Group Gathering is right around the corner, and we are so excited to be back together!

Last month was full of laughter, leadership, and meaningful reflection. The youth rotated through roles in Riverbank (a high-energy active listening game), discovered that Happy Salmon is even more fun when played silently, and challenged AI with their artistic brilliance. We also held a thoughtful processing conversation about the wildly successful Potato Bowl Fundraiser — celebrating wins and dreaming up improvements for future projects.

The youth selected March 7 (12–3pm) as their rescheduled date to distribute food bags to our unhoused neighbors. We are now collaborating with The Melting Pot in Johnson City, who is generously offering space and partnership to help bring this outreach to life. A parent has also offered the use of their food truck for an upcoming hot-meal distribution — with the youth creating the menu themselves!

This month we will:
Explore these new community collaborations in more detail
Choose a fun field trip destination
Select a date for our next fundraiser — which will directly support that field trip

As always, Youth Group is youth-led, connection-centered, and full of authenticity and JOY! We can’t wait to see what unfolds next!
