s part of our yearly programs, VTSeva took our youth on a meaningful visit to the Mill Creek Police departments to express our gratitude for their selfless service in protecting our communities. Our youth prepared a delicious lunch and handmade friendship bands to present to the police officers as a symbol of our respect and admiration for their tireless efforts. The officers were visibly moved by this kind gesture, and it was clear that such interactions are a rare occurrence in their line of work.During our visit, the youth had the opportunity to engage in open and honest conversations with the police officers. They learned about their daily responsibilities, motivations for joining the force, and the challenges they face on the job. This exchange not only educated our youth but also helped build bridges between the community and law enforcement.
