May Newsletter
Hey All,
Hope you're as excited as we are about Core Training on May 3rd and May 4th (cue cheesy Star Wars joke). We're looking forward to a whole bunch of new YouthCO members ready to help out this summer and beyond.
1. News
HELP SAVE PINE FREE CLINIC!!
Unfortunately it looks like Pine Free Clinic is closing. This will mean less access to free and confidential sexual health information, testing, and treatment for youth. The clinic also provides free services to refugees without MSP coverage and anyone else without health insurance. Join us in supporting efforts to keep this resource open for those who need it.
There is an emergency meeting on May 2nd 12-1pm at MLA David Eby's Community Office 2909 W Broadway
Sign the petition to keep Pine Free Clinic open!!
YOUTH WEEK
If you're not at Core Training, come check out Youth Week at False Creek Community Centre on Saturday May 3rd!
YouthCO will have an interactive booth set up all day with demonstrator races and prizes!

Mark your calendars early for Thursday June 12 @ 6:30pm and make sure to RSVP on the website.
Beaches and festivals and Pride, oh my!
