The PYO focuses on building a community for the youth on Prudence Island by providing activities that promote friendships while having fun! To become a member, you must be turning 10 years old in the calendar year until the age of 18 years old. The PYO members are pretty busy during the summer months assisting with the weekly kids’ BINGO nights and movie nights. They learn to work at the Snack Shack collecting money, making change, etc. They meet new friends and go on fun trips.
