Hillsboro Youth Advisory Council Continues to Inspire

     Tuesday, members of the Hillsboro Youth Advisory Council (YAC) gave a presentation at the Hillsboro Optimist Club weekly meeting. Their presentation focused on the great work that the YAC is doing for the year, and how they plan to grow next year.
     The theme for the council this year was ‘Education, Environment, and Equality’. A goal that they worked towards through various service projects throughout the year such as fundraising for the local schools, volunteering at the Jackson Bottom Wetlands plant sale, and creating PSAs on cyber­bullying and water conservation that can be found online.
     The YAC also has yearly awards for active members and scholarships for seniors.
