Youth Council adopts constitution, bylaws ECE health round-up
The Warm Springs Youth
Council has been working on
the development of their
Constitution and Bylaws since
early May, and adopted these
documents this past week in
a formal meeting at the Tribal
Courthouse.
The Youth Council started
as part of a project for Gen-
eration Indigenous (Gen-I)
Youth Challenge. The White
House kicked off this na-
tional initiative in April with
a “challenge to youth, orga-
nizations, businesses, school
and tribal leaders to engage
with youth and do something
positive for their communities.”
The development of the
Constitution and Bylaws in-
cluded a working session with
Jeri Brunoe, national youth
trainer, to develop the vision
and mission of the Youth
Council.
The vision of the council
is to “establish and maintain
a positive voice for the com-
munity by keeping the youth
involved in our culture, spiri-
tuality and heritage through
the generations.”
The next steps for the de-
The Early Childhood
Education Head Start pro-
gram and Indian Health
Service will be holding a
‘round-up’ for all Head
Start children ages 3 and
4.
This round-up includes
dental checks and eye ex-
ams as well as physicals
and immunizations. These
physical exams are re-
quired each year for chil-
dren enrolled in Head
Start.
Parents of Head
Start children will need to
sign up at ECE for time
slots. The round-up day
is Monday, August 10.
You can reach ECE at
541-553-3240.

Warm Springs Youth Council work session.
velopment of the Youth
Council includes becoming an
affiliate with the United Na-
tional Indian Tribal Youth
(UNITY) organization and
seeking support by resolution
from the Warm Springs Tribal
Council.
The Youth Council revives
a previous effort that was
active in the early 1990s.
Atwai Marie Calica was the
advisor for that group, and
the current Youth Council
was the second council in the
country to become affiliated
with UNITY.
The adoption of the Con-
stitution triggers the election
process for several positions
including co-presidents (one
female, one male), vice-presi-
dent, secretary, treasurer and
communications officer. Elec-
tions will be held at the end
of August.
Youth ages 14-24 who are
interested in running need to
complete a membership ap-
plication, attend one meeting
Alyssa Macy/Spilyay
prior to the election, and sub-
mit a leadership application.
All candidates are expected to
do a short speech as to why
they are running.
The Warm Springs Youth
Council is also hosting a lead-
ership training August 26-27
that is open to Native youth
ages 14-24. The two-day train-
ing will focus on developing
teamwork and leadership
skills for young people in the
community.
Sports physicals are set for
August 18 at IHS.
Dental and optometry de-
partments will be having
walk-in clinics 8 a.m.–12 p.m.
All students are encouraged
to get these exams completed
as well.
The sports physicals will
start at 1 p.m. on a first-come,
first-seen basis.
The physical form needs
to be filled out before the
appointment, and a parent or
guardian must come with the
student.
Sports physicals are due
every other year for the 509-
J school district, and are re-
quired before the student can
play sports. For more infor-
mation call 541-553-2610 ext.
