Video: Orion Area Youth Assistance Presents Youth Recognition Awards
(Orion ONTV, May 9, 2023)
Orion Township, MI – Orion Area Youth Assistance held their annual youth recognition awards at the Orion Center on May 4, and Orion ONTV’s Drake Eubanks was there to report on the festivities.
A dozen students were recognized with awards for Community Service, Personal Achievement, or being a Good Citizen, explained OAYA Chairperson Dawn Ames.
Lake Orion Village Council President Jerry Narsh said “You guys should be celebrated, not just recognized, but celebrated tonight because you’re kind of the best of the best. You’re doing amazing things in your community. There’s so many forces that would pull you away, and make you want to do other things. But you’re excelling in your lives, and your school programs, and in turn back into your community.”
OAYA thrives because of adults who volunteer to be mentors, as well as programs that help students and their families. Learn more about Orion Area Youth Assistance at https://www.lakeorionyouthassistance.com/.
