Hey gang! Zo here :)

WOW, is it just me, or did last month FLY by?! I can't believe we're already almost a quarter of the way through the year!

Let's see, what have we been up to recently at YMPA? Just last week, we attended a Youth Mental Health Summit at Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit, where we met lots of great folks and shared information about our Sources of Strength (SOS) program with students and faculty. SOS is spreading FAST across the state; we have 6 schools officially signed on for the training, with more soon to be confirmed! We're feeling excited and proud that this program is taking off and bringing messages of Hope, Help, and Strength to students all over PA.

This week, we hosted an Easter egg hunt at our office in Harrisburg for some fun team/family bonding time. Turns out, our staff can get pretty competitive when there's candy on the line!

Otherwise, we've mostly been busy bees preparing for the upcoming summer. We're ramping up for Wellness Days (registration is now open!) and planning for our Build Your Best School Year summer camp in July. Be sure to follow along on our social media and stay tuned for all our updates about YMPA summer fun coming to your area!

And of course, I can't forget to share that our Advisory Council continues to be AWESOME and is already providing us with some amazing, insightful feedback about how to take Youth MOVE PA to the next level. Next step is to elect two of our Council members to serve on the Board of Directors at our parent organization, PMHCA!

That's all I got for you this week. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend everyone!
