Youth
The focus of the Unity in the Community Youth Committee is to provide a fun filled area for children and their families while providing an opportunity to learn about other cultures, traditions and families. Activities include:
* A Cultural Village treasure hunt where families visit each village to learn a bit of trivia about that particular culture and receive a stamp in their “passport” which entitles them to a prize at the end.
* Washington State Governor Christine Gregoire will have the Apple Health for Kids Campaign school bus in the youth area along with a kids tent. This is a program that helps provide medical care for all kids in Washington.
* A Helmet Fitting station to teach parents and children the proper way to fit a helmet which provides important protection for precious heads. Each child receives a free helmet – perfect for the start of school!
* A raffle where families can sign up to win a variety of prizes.
* Jumping castles which provide great physical activity and fun for kids! Give our youth an opportunity it meet and befriend someone from another cultural environment their own.
* Tattoo station for anyone who wants to add some “flava” to their look. All tattoos are temporary!
* U.S. Army Recruiting will provide vehicles so children can explore and learn how our armed forces protect and defend our country.
