Needs
The Winters Youth Day Committee is an all-volunteer organization that works directly with the Winters Joint Unified School District, City of Winters staff, and other local organizations to ensure the annual event is put on for the community and to provide youth with an opportunity to learn about the role and impact of local government.
With the money raised, we provide the community and neighboring cities with the annual Youth Day event to celebrate youth and give youth the chance to experience local government happenings and gain hands-on experience.
Local Government Experience: Funds provide transportation so students can visit the Capitol building in Sacramento and provide hands-on experiences at Winters City Hall. Students shadow their local elected official counterparts to learn how the roles impact the function of the city.
Media and Marketing experience: The Youth Day Royal Court works with the local newspaper and other media outlets to promote the event. They get hands-on training in marketing and are empowered to set goals and to take action to achieve them.
Scholarships: Funds raised support leadership scholarships for students graduating from Winters High School.
Volunteers: The Winters Youth Day Committee relies on volunteers to help chair different aspects of the Youth Day experience including organizing activities, coordinating with government officials, serving as parade marshals, and more. Please contact our organization if you would like to learn more about how to volunteer.
