Our "Volunteer of the Month" for April 2018 is Nicky! Nicky helps AYC with a number of administrative tasks, such as prepping ACE flyers for distribution to the different schools in the area. Congratulations Nicky! Thank you for all of your hard work.  AYC is offering no-cost employment services for youth ages 17-24! See the flyer below for details.  Thank you to the County of Los Angeles Public Library San Gabriel Branch for presenting a stress management workshop to students in our TLCC after-school program at Jefferson Middle School. The kids learned a lot of helpful information and even got to make their own stress balls! This month's Employee of the Month goes to: Cinthia Alvardo. AYC would like to applaud Cinthia's excellent attitude, helpfulness, and her willingness to go above and beyond to ensure that her clients are receiving the services they need. As a result of her efforts, Cinthia consistently receives great feedback from clients and DPO's. Congratulations Cinthia! Thank you for all of your hard work. Be on the lookout next month to see who receives Employee of the Month honors for May!  On Saturday, April 7th, 2018, AYC hosted our 2nd Annual Rubber Ducky Carnival and Duck Design Contest at our facilities at 232 W. Clary Ave in San Gabriel. The event featured carnival game booths, an art design contest, resource booths for parents and families, raffles, and more! The event attracted over 250 people, even with the chance of showers! The event program was MCed by the Honorable Mike Eng. During the program, the Suk Ching Leung Scholarship, Cheou Wang Scholarship, and May L. To Excellence Award were given to 14 youth to pursue college or secondary schools. The Cheou Wang Scholarship was presented by Michelle Freridge, AYC Executive Director. The May L. To Excellence Award was presented by special guests Alex To, husband of May L. To, the late founding Executive Director of AYC, and Dr. Gay Yuen, AYC Board Member and Past-President. Certificates from Assemblymember Ed Chau (49th District) were presented to the scholarship awardees by representative Cristina Correa. Pranav Sharma, Board Chair of Network for Asian Americans (NAPA), a Business Resource Group at Warner Bros also spoke about their partnership with us throughout the year - volunteers from NAPA were instrumental to making this event and last year's event a huge success! The event featured a Duck Design Contest where youth ages 5-14 created and submitted dioramas using a rubber ducky and their imaginations. The top three design submissions were Fatima (1st Place), Leonel (2nd Place), and Sophia (3rd Place). Special guest judges for the Duck Design Contest included Julie Ho (AYC Secretary), Chief Eugene Harris (AYC Board Member), and Ken Tcheng (Former AYC Board Member and Past-President.)
