Our Mountain Iron-Buhl Youth in Action group recently spent the day volunteering at Arrowhead Economic Opportunity Agency's Senior Expo in Eveleth. YIA welcomed folks, handed out a bag and a map, refilled beverages, helped push people in wheelchairs, and served and cleaned up after lunch. The intergenerational connections were so cool to see, and many attendees commented on how wonderful our YIA volunteers were! We are excited to return again next year!

Last week, Mesabi East Youth in Action put on our annual Cardboard Box City event. Students built houses out of cardboard in order to help raise awareness about housing instability in our communities. St. Louis County Housing and Homelessness staff spoke with students about ways in which our community is impacted, as well as what resources are available. Students ended the busy day with a service project stuffing build-a-bear toys to donate to the children's hospital. It was a day full of advocacy, education, and service. Thank you to Stacey Jasperson, our Mesabi East YIA advisor, for all her hard work in hosting this event.
