NEWS We Have Amazing Volunteers in Millcreek MILLCREEK. Last week in City Hall's Grandview venue, Millcreek hosted a Volunteer Appreciation Banquet to honor the many residents who give their time and efforts to building community through volunteerism in Millcreek. Millcreek residents get involved in the work of the city in several ways—from helping with large service projects such as the warm winter clothing drives and the Canyon Rim Cares event to serving on councils, coalitions, committees, and more. The banquet honored all these volunteers with a dinner and speeches of gratitude from the city manager and the city council. Millcreek resident Coy Clawson was named as Volunteer of the Year, Arivan ---PAGE BREAK--- Verma was honored as Youth Volunteer of the Year. Read more below about these two very special people. Millcreek was happy to announce COY CLAWSON as the 2024 Volunteer of the Year. Clawson has been instrumental in two of the largest volunteer efforts Millcreek undertook in the past couple of years—the building of a garden space for Millcreek elementary and the subsequent moving of that same garden space to a local daycare center. Clawson took the lead by designing the garden space, with garden boxes, awnings, and watering lines, as well as being on the ground with the volunteers for both the building and moving of the garden. Clawson’s willingness to serve his community is apparent in all his work, making him a deserving recipient of the award. One amazing thing about Millcreek’s community is the number of young people who are so willing to volunteer and help. From a robust youth council to filling roles as interns in city departments, Millcreek youth have and continue to do great work. This year’s Youth Volunteer of the Year award was given to ARIVAN VERMA, who has served on the Millcreek Youth Council for several years and has worked as an intern for the Millcreek Promise Program. Verma has helped to run service projects benefiting Millcreek families, put together resource fairs for residents, and even has donned the mascot suit and performed as Milo the Millcreek Moose at events. Verma’s willingness to learn new skills and give his time to the city is what earned him this award. Thank you to all of our wonderful city volunteers!
