It has been a challenging few weeks, as the world reacts with uncertainty to the Coronavirus. Please know we miss seeing our Venturers, Changemakers and the staff at our partner schools. We hope you are staying safe and healthy! And we look forward to seeing you all again when this has passed.
We were sad (and we know you were, too) to have had to postpone our
UWYV Spring Showcase
. We were very much looking forward to hearing from our Changemaking Venture Teams. However, we have a new, cool plan for you! Since part of being a Venturer includes overcoming obstacles and finding solutions, we have an idea! If your Venture Team applied to showcase your Venture at the event, we would love it if you would
create a video of what your Team is about
(while still practicing social distancing, of course!).
Post it to your social media profiles and we'll share it to all of ours so you can get the exposure and applause that you deserve.
Get as creative as possible (sketch, commercial, Broadway musical, it's your call!).
Attention High School Venture Teams!!
Want to take over our Instagram for a day?
Let us know and we will give you the details about our
#TakeOverThursday!
This is a great way for younger Venturers (and non-Venturers) to see what life is like as a Venture from your point of view. Email us at
UWYV@mwcc.mass.edu
and we'll send you all the exciting details!
Congratulations to the eight Venture Teams
that are our newest official United Way Youth Venture Teams, having presented their ideas before a Community Panel.
One very special Venture Team
, the
Fab 5
, was recently honored by their city's Board of Selectmen. Read more about their recognition, below.
As always, we appreciate
you
and thank you for your continued support!
