Announcing Award Winners
The Peter Wulff Center announces its Presidential Youth Volunteer Award winners John Dever, Jack Weed, Krish Nara and Sophia Genega who transform ordinary projects into community engaging ventures that bring hope and resources to those in need and an atmosphere of deep cultural, economic, cultural learning into a community. They are leaders for project Bridge of Hope that seeks to raise funds for migrants and refugees. In addition to raising funds through a dinner hosted for 100 people they have helped to collect furniture, clothes, utensils and shoes for these people.
16 year old John Dever was nominated to represent the Peter Wulff Center as a delegate to the Youth United Nations Assembly in New York this summer. He was nominated on the basis of his humanitarian contributions over the last year as well as this project.
Sponsoring a Christmas Lunch for ex prisoners
For the last 10 years the Barrington community has sponsored a Christmas lunch for ex prisoners and their families in Chicago. The lunch includes a meal as well as toys and used winter clothing for the families. Youth who have lead this fundraising venture have been dedicated and enthusiastic and inspired adults with their creativity. This year 11 year-old Jack Weed (seen serving food in the photograph from last year ) will lead the team again).
