Anti-Bullying Wing Cook Off

VYJ Youth Programs participated in the Pathways In Education Anti-Bullying Wing Cook-off on September 7, 2018 at the annual Wheels in the Hills event. Participating in the event helped us to bring awareness to ways that we are fighting bullying through our youth programs and recruit volunteers to join with us. 

Congratulations VYJ for being named 1st place winners at the Wing Cook-off.  A special thanks to Mycle Dotie for volunteering to cook his special honey BBQ wings
