The Youth Advisory Committee invites you to the second 100 Youth Who Care Event at the Otsego County Library on

February 10th starting at 3:00 pm.

How do you become a member? It’s easy: just complete the Membership Commitment form.

What can you expect during the event? You will be greeted by a Youth Advisory Committee member and asked to check-in. There will be time for mingling with other fabulous, like-minded youth and eating snacks provided by Alpine Chocolat Haus. Generally, the afternoon will go as follows: 3:00 – Check-in, present your cash/check donation of $20.00, mingle, and eat snacks. 3:30 pm – Program begins:

  • Opening remarks from the Youth Advisory Committee

  • Members will submit their anonymous ballot and the votes will be tabulated
  • Last year's 100 Youth Who Care recipient, the Otsego County Library, will give a presentation
