The Shelby County Youth Assistance Program has grown in its first five years of existence.  Much the same way the youth who have benefited from it.

Director Melissa O’Connor hosted a celebration of the program at Blue River Memorial Park.

O’Connor explains what the program offers.

She says the program has grown and, in turn, has been able to see the youth served by the program grow.
