| Our Annual Hideous Heap Contest: Rewarding You for Being a Poor Youth Worker |
Any youth worker who frequents THE SOURCE knows that we love to provide you with FREE stuff. Well, it’s that time of year once again to give youth workers an opportunity to be rewarded for driving a crummy car, a hooptie, a beat up whip, a real piece, a junker, or as we like to call it … A HIDEOUS HEAP!That’s right! It’s time for our annual HIDEOUS HEAP CONTEST. A FREE contest where you can earn some great prizes just for being a youth worker and driving a hideous heap! And this year Youth Specialties has kicked in the grand-daddy of cool prizes … paid admission to their national youth workers convention in one of three U.S. cities. (A $350 value!) I’ll be speaking at all three conventions this year, so I’ll be looking forward to meeting the winner in person!
