What school will you attend next yea . monds Woodway ig c ool
Grade Next Year? 10th Grade
Please type your answers to the following questions:
What volunteer/work experience or extracurricular activities have you been
involved in that may contribute to your success as an Edmonds Youth
Commission member?
During my middle school years at Madrona K-8 I was involved with SALT. SALT stands;
for Student Activist Leadership Team. We raised money for building a new school in
BALI, India. The money we raised came from these volunteer activities the SALT team
was responsible for. The activities were: Madrona Bear Scare; a fun family Halloween 3
event. I help set up the Haunted House and dressed up for the kids to go through the 2
Haunted House. Madrona Rock-A-Thon where myself and the Middle Schoolers set up a;
the gym so we could stay up all night supporting our cause. We also had to tear down
the gym and clean it up the next morning. We raised a good amount of money for the
Rock-A-Thon. Myself and the Middle schoolers put together two events for the younger
students K-3 and 4-6th grade where parents could drop their children off and we would Q
run the art and game activities. Parents paid a fee and we led the kids in these c
activities.

2. What personal strengths/skills will you contribute to the success of the Edmonds
U
Youth Commission?
a
I have been very committed to Madrona's SALT Program and when I sign up for
something I give it my full commitment and full attention. I am looking forward to serve
as an advocate for youth needs and improvement in youth policies, directly engaging
the community in the process. I have been through Mountlake Terrace CPR and First
Aid Training program to be certified in case there is an emergency in any situation and
Packet Pg. 7
anywhere. I have been very resourceful helping my neighbors and parents friends mow
lawns and clean up any yard work necessary.
3. What issue impacting the Edmonds community are you most passionate
about? Do you have any ideas on how to begin addressing this issue? Outline a
project idea for the Edmonds youth commission that may begin to address this
issue.
I am a freshman at EWHS and I see social anxiety as a huge fear for so many students
starting a new school and a completely new system of how to do things. Not all
students are ready for High School and the many nuances it provides. There is so
much fear in school shootings, depression, anxiety, racial tension to a point that it
overwhelms students. We need a better system to help one another through this social
anxiety. Kindness and helping others is so important for everyone. Students have
higher expectations in school work putting large amounts of stress on the students
shoulders. The students know High-school leads to bigger and better things for College;
however we need a support group to help one another. Why can't schools be given
someone they don't know and have them do something kind for them in their grade
level. This would give them an opportunity to know someone outside of social media
and the stress social media provides. A kind word can go a long way. At EWHS they
have a program called; "Link Crew" which connects a junior with a freshman for their
first week of school; however it doesn't address these issues of social anxiety. We
need a better system and if we could connect people who don't know one another and
provide a kind act this could go along way in life down the road.

1. For the past six months, I have been an active volunteer at the Edmonds Food Bank.
Throughout the many hours that I have spent with members of the community in need of
support, I have become aware of the dire need of organizations, such as food banks, in
Edmonds. I have also been able to spend time forming relationships with our customers;
this has given me the ability to learn about the various circumstances that have led them
to need our assistance including job loss, family medical issues, and the high cost of
living. Additionally, I have attended the Youth Migrant Project which is an annual,
week-long experience where we serve migrant workers in Burlington through organizing
a food bank, serving meals, and playing with the kids at the daycare. The Project also
allowed us to gain a further understanding of what migrant workers experience on a daily
basis by participating in their daily duties on the farm. I also have volunteered at the
Westgate Chapel's Thanksgiving Event where families in need of a place to have a meal
are given a Thanksgiving dinner along with access to a food and clothing bank. This past
year, I was also chosen as team captain for my high school volleyball team; I have been
playing volleyball for many years and have gained leadership skills and learned the
importance of being a team player.
2. As a member of the Edmonds Youth Commision, I could contribute the strengths of
organization, leadership, creativity, sense of commitment, and desire to promote change
3. As the volunteer in charge of stocking, organizing, and distributing the baby supplies at
the food bank, I have become aware of the dire need of basic baby supplies and formula
in our community. For this reason, I have come to be most passionate about the issue of
undernourished babies and struggling mothers in need of help to adequately care for
their babies. To begin to address this issue, I propose a project to further expand the
v
access of free baby supplies in our community through the donations of local businesses
with the cooperation of the Edmonds Food Bank. I would like to include a survey of the
families with babies to determine what needs are not being met by the food bank and to
cn
identify supplies that we do not provide but are requested. Using this information, the
21
Youth Commission could contact local businesses and create relationships with
w
community leaders to provide continuous resources and fulfill the need.

Recommendation of Jacob Willcox for 2018-2020 Edmonds Youth Commission
Submitted by Stephen Lang as an addendum to the application form.
I have known Jacob and his family for approximately 14 years. My wife and I have lived
in Edmonds since 1996. The Wilcox family moved into a house across the street from us
approximately fifteen years ago. We have watched Jacob, Jemma and Jude grow up and
are very impressed in how they have matured in those fourteen years. Jacob's parents,
James and Jennifer, have done an outstanding job raising all three of their children. All
three are respectful„ intuitive, active,, caring and critical thinking young adults. The three
siblings have a wonderful and close relationship and Jacob has always set the
appropriate example.
Regarding Jacob: I started my professional career as a school teacher, Accordingly, I
have been around young people most of my life. Jacob stands out as one of the most
impressive young men I have known. Jacob is serious but always has the time to stop
by for a chat. I speak to his academic achievement because he doesn't stop by to show
me his grade card but I'm certain he is a high achiever in the class room. One of the
things I most like about Jacob is that he is a free thinker. When others in his age group
are concerned about driving a car, Jacob rides his bicycle to and from school. When
others in his age group are concerned about social activities, Jacob is dedicated to hard
work in school and involvement in track and field. Not that Jacob doesn't drive or that he
doesn't have a social life, as he does, but those things are not at the top of his list of
needs.
I am proud to endorse Jacob for a position on the Edmonds Youth Commission. I know
of no one more deserving. Jacob will make the Commission proud as well.
