My daughter is participating in the Youth Conservation Corp. It is such a great and special program. We are so lucky to have something like this offered in our community. I hope it will continue to expand so that more youth will get the benefit of participating in this type of program. I am very thankful to all the hard work and dedication by the members of Madrona to make this happen.
