PARK City, Utah — The Park City High School has a plethora of extracurricular clubs from which students can choose, however, student Sloan Yevoli, found reason to start her own Park City Chapter of a relatively new one, the Community Cares Club.

With guidance from math teacher Melissa Perry in the role of advisor, Yevoli is leading 50 fellow students in their mission.

“Community Cares is an organization that works to meet the needs of the Park City community. Our goal is to uplift each other and to continue to make Park City the best it can be,” she told TownLift.

The senior moved to Park City three years ago, and is now president of the Community Cares Club.

The club does not meet in person, instead opting for the convenience of online options available at their fingertips.

“There is a need for Community Cares because us students are the future, and it is imperative that we step up to the plate of helping our community now,” Yevoli said.

One special project they completed was assembling Easter baskets to donate to the Christian Center of Park City (CCPC) for the children last Easter.

“When I went to drop off the baskets our club members made, it was incredible to see how many members of our town made baskets as well- it was heartwarming and I wish I could have seen the looks on the children’s faces when they received them,” Yevoli said.

Community Cares membership looks good on a student’s college application, Yevoli explained, because it is a national-level club. And it’s simply good to help one’s community.

“As I move forward in life, I will forever cherish my community service hours I have completed in high school, especially the ones completed through Community Cares,” she said. “Being able to make someone’s day, week, month, or even their year is such a special feeling.”

Yevoli loves the connections she gets to make within the club, and the connections the club gets to make within the community.

Next, the club is volunteering for the CCPC again for its annual Hike for Hunger fundraiser event, then they’re planning to host tutoring days at the elementary school, free of charge, and in-so-doing, making the world a better place.
