Hi, my name is Xavier Gomez, and I am the newest member of the Youth Advisory Board of the Evergreen Park & Recreation District. I look forward to using this position as a voice for the youth of the community I grew up in. I will be starting my junior year at Evergreen High School this August (2024). Apart from school, I spend a lot of my time utilizing EPRD facilities – whether that be working at Evergreen Lake House over the summer or winter, or using the weight rooms and the other amenities at the Recreation Centers. However, the largest amount of my free time is probably spent at the fields of Evergreen, as I am an avid rugby player and active in its community, both as a part of my teams and coaching for the local youth program. Overall I look forward to being a voice for the youth in Evergreen and surrounding areas, and I hope my input over the next two years benefits this community long past my time in Evergreen.
