Allstate Insurance Agent Jeff D. Burnett, Federal Way, WA

This year Jeff and Cory are supporting a group of young teen leaders from the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties and their trip to the Sioux YMCA in Dupree, South Dakota. The Sioux YMCA is the only Y located on a Native American Reservation in the United States. Dupree is a small town with approximately 500 people, but the Y reaches out to and works alongside with 19 other communities on the reservation. This is a great opportunity for these teens to get out and experience a community that is very different than their own and yet still feel the Y’s impact on those it serves. While these teen leaders are there, they will be assisting with the day camp program, which is completely free for the children of Dupree, learn more about the Lakota people through guest speakers and presentations, in addition to how the Y is making a difference for everyone on the reservation.
