Welcome to the YWA!

 

Thank you to everyone for making the May 20th event a huge success!!

 

David Brown, of WCVB-TV, auctioneered a Live Auctions of art by children & teens, while everyone kept their eye on the Silent Auction too. Fabulous food & libations, plus Latin Jazz! All to benefit the Youth Workers' Alliance & youth programs in our community.

Read a great article about young people making art for the auction!
