Melfort Youth Evolution hosting virtual dance party – northeastNOW

Carswell has been working at home since the state of emergency was declared in Saskatchewan on March 16, when North East Outreach and Support Services went into their pandemic plan mode.

Since then, Carswell has been working to keep up a connection with the youth.

It was very limited contact with the youth for the first week of isolation with one-word responses or no responses from the youth, Carswell said.

The following week was a different story with youth wanting to join in on virtual activities such as escape rooms and planning out ideas from members.

The dance party was one of those ideas from the youth.

The official DJ for the Saskatchewan RUSH team, DJ Anchor will host the party from 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Friday night.

We have room for up to 100 accounts to join in on the ZOOM app, Carswell said.

A link will be sent to those who register with Carswell for the party at 306-921-9966 or contact Jen at 306-874-7230.

The main goal is to get as many youths as we can up and dancing and getting endorphins into their blood stream, Carswell said.

Anyone in the province or around the world can link in.

There are still spots open but we have had a good response, I am impressed and excited, she said.
