Enthusiastic, confident, discreet, determined, trustworthy and unbiased… do you know someone who fits that description? If you have been to one of our youth centres or programs you sure do! The first week of May each year boasts Thank A Youth Worker Day! As you can imagine, it’s an exciting time around the office J where we take the opportunity to thank our hardworking staff for all they do to support youth in Abbotsford! The AYC created and delivered packages of post it notes and banners that supervisors and principals could post in their workplace to encourage people to share why they thought their youth worker was great!

This year’s event was on May 5^th and the AYC staff were pleasantly surprised by some tasty “thanks A latte” treat cups with a generous gift card inside! As always, Bev and Christy were so appreciative with their personal thanks included free with delivery!

What did you do to thank a youth worker in your life? Here is how other agencies in Abbotsford celebrated their dedicated youth workers:
