NYW 2019: Meet the Organizing Committee
Planning for the second annual National Youth Week celebrations at the Richcraft Recreation Complex are underway!
This year, we will be profiling each member of the Organizing Committee so that you can get to know the people that are hard-at-work creating National Youth Week.
Esmael is a member of the Organizing Committee and is responsible for collaborating with the other committee members in order to create, design, and deliver all of the events for National Youth Week 2019 at the Richcraft Recreation Complex.
