About 95 student members at the Urbana Youth Center (UYC) recently had the opportunity to take a free trip to a trampoline park, Get Air, in Columbus. The trip was supported in part by donations from Rittal and Bundy Baking Solutions.
The trip was provided to some of the youth center’s active student volunteers who help clean and care for the facilities, according to Justin T. Weller, Executive Director for the Urbana Youth Center.
“At UYC, we work to encourage positive behavior and engaged, community-minded student members. Part of how we achieve this is by making sure students take ownership in the work we do at the youth center. One of the ways we accomplish this is through our student volunteer program,” Weller said.
