The Alameda Youth Committee (AYC) has been working on electing officers and continues to recruiting more members.

In Mid-November, AYC assisted Mastick Senior Center with their Thanksgiving Dinner on Sunday, November 20. They helped prep and serve hot meals to the seniors. In addition, the Committee returned again to assist Mastick on their post Thanksgiving Breakfast on Saturday, November 26. There were many positive comments made by the seniors, adult volunteers, and Mariel Thomas (Senior Program Coordinator) about their good service. Also, during the Mayor's Holiday Tree Lighting, AYC assisted Recreation and Parks on providing refreshments (selling hot beverages) on a cool Saturday afternoon and evening of the event. Besides fundraising they also assisted in crowd control, and clean up. The event raised approximately $300 which will be used to assist AYC in future teen events & activity planning. Operation Green Sweep is ongoing. Teen volunteers continue to assist the department by removing trash and debris weekly at the City's 10 parks and playground sites. They also went to three of the Alameda middle schools to assist in their playground and trash pick around the school grounds. By doing so, they learn, promote, and encourage their peers to recycle, and care for their neighborhood parks by keeping them clean. Each of the volunteers can earn up to 15-25 community hours. These hours help them fulfill the school's requirements on their Community Service Hours. Parks and Playgrounds, our free drop-in recreation program. Parents have been especially happy to have the option of attending this program. Our ten selected sites throughout Alameda are: Franklin, Krusi, Leydecker, Lincoln, Littlejohn, Longfellow, McKinley, Miller, Tillman, and Woodstock. Recreation & Park Commission Mtg.
