We hope you all have a fantastic weekend & we look forward to seeing you bright & early Monday morning for the Make a Difference Conference! Pictured is our agenda, a little more information about our student-led breakout workshops, and our list of exhibitors. It's gonna be a great day! 😁

We had a number of people reach out to us today wanting to register last-minute for the Make a Difference conference, but unfortunately, we are at capacity. We never want to turn anyone away so we hope you will watch for information and join us for our next conference! We are truly grateful for all the support of Youth in Action and the Make a Difference Conference!

We are happy to introduce you to our newest Youth in Action Program Coordinator, Aimee! "Hello! My name is Aimee Bannwarth, and I am so excited to join St. Louis County as a Youth in Action Program Coordinator! I’m originally from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and graduated with a bachelor’s in environmental studies from St. Ben’s. The Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest Program/AmeriCorps took me to the West Coast, where I volunteered and then worked for a wildfire long-term recovery group as a volunteer coordinator and disaster case manager. After 7 years between Washington and Oregon, I’m excited to be back in the Midwest. I’m enjoying getting to know the community through Youth in Action, and in my free time, I love taking advantage of all of the outdoor activities the area has to offer! If you pass me on the ski trails this winter be sure to say hi!!"

We had a couple more sponsorships come in and we to take a moment to thank them! We sincerely appreciate your support of Youth in Action, the Make a Difference Conference, and the Youth of St. Louis County!
