“During a visit to Yankton to see family, I saw beauty and opportunity in the greater Yankton community. I strolled the decorated downtown and was reminded of the beauty of urban downtowns I've visited growing up. I dreamed of someday opening a coffee shop here. When I learned about Pathways Shelter for the Homeless and an employment opportunity working for the organization's great mission, I started house hunting in Yankton. It was a huge step moving from Huron to Yankton on my own, but I'm so excited to be a part of the greater Yankton community!”

"We grew up believing that our future success would be measured by how far from Yankton we could venture. But the farther we ventured out, we began to miss our small town. The people of Yankton have a great energy. They deeply care about their community. They debate the town’s future passionately. And recently, they have been working together to put words into action. This communal connectedness and action is difficult to find in the other communities we live in. Ultimately, we want to live in Yankton because we care about it and other people do too, and that’s actually pretty unique in our experience."

“What I love the most about the Greater Yankton Community is the people. I am a transplant to Yankton from Eastern North Carolina and everyone I have met in Yankton has been so kind and helpful, especially through my first South Dakota winter. Yankton also provides a beautiful community through the many parks and recreation facilities they offer, which is very appealing to me as I love the outdoors and look forward to spending many hours by the lake. I also love that Yankton feels a sense of duty in the way they support the many locally owned businesses in the area. This, for me, is key to economic growth and development of our beautiful city! There's only one question remaining - when is it going to thaw out, y'all?!”

March 20

Carly Manahan

Coordinator/Domestic Violence Advocate at River City Domestic Violence Center

“When choosing where to live after graduating from Mount Marty, the choice was simple: Yankton. Not only did I have a job I adore at River City Domestic Violence Center, but in the past four years of school, I had developed a second family without realizing it. Moving from Colorado without knowing anyone here was scary, but the community members are all so welcoming and always willing to lend a helping hand. I now have a home and second family (and even third) all because of Yankton and the kind hearts that make up the community.”

March 21

So, when we aren’t busy serving our community we like to enjoy the recreational activities of fishing, kayaking, boating, camping, or taking a walk across the Meridian Bridge. I am very fortunate to live in a community where I can lend a helping hand but yet get away and enjoy the endless opportunities of the Missouri River.”

I met so many other professionals, all who provided opportunities to meet other people and get involved. The people in Yankton are friendly, helpful, and encouraging. I’ve made lasting friendships from what started with a simple hello, and I’m excited to see what the future holds for me and my husband. I know Yankton will support us along life’s path.

Volunteering means so much to me - I do it for the satisfaction that I’ve done my part to better my community. I chose to live in Yankton after growing up here because of the feel of the community and volunteering is at the heart of it. Feeling like I’m making difference in ways that are beneficial to those around me - that’s the true meaning of community.”

The city has a variety of parks with playgrounds, tennis courts, baseball and soccer fields, just to name a few.

March 8

Neil Kaltsulas

Manufacturing Engineer at Applied Engineering

“It’s difficult to pick a favorite recreational opportunity as there’s so much to do in our area, but recently my wife and I have discovered a couple new activities that we enjoy.  Last summer, we were members of the Yankton Community Garden, and we had a great time. We didn’t have much prior gardening experience, but we spent three or four nights a week at the garden learning from the Master Gardeners, getting to know our plot neighbors, and just enjoying time outdoors.  We learned a lot, and we are looking forward to doing it again this summer. We are also huge fans of Bragging Rights on Thursday Nights. The atmosphere along the river is fun. We have a beverage or two and sometimes there is Music at the Meridian going on as well.  Plus, it is a nice way to get a head start on the weekend. We also think it is great that local charities are asked to participate which allows them to bring awareness to their causes.”

March 9

After living here two years, a trip to the grocery store always means encountering several acquaintances; at the same time, when I go to community events, there are always fresh faces. I love that Yankton is large enough to have a vibrant network of volunteers and community organizations, yet small enough that your presence truly counts at every event.”

“When I initially came to Yankton to pursue a Graphic Design Degree at Mount Marty College, I was immersed in an environment for the making of a great base of relationships that to this day I still have. Needless to say, it is such an exciting time to be a young adult in Yankton, the spirit of entrepreneurship is being nurtured, and I hope to be a team-player in some of the initiatives to come.  Here I am able to serve and volunteer in a much more fluid way. The fact I can run across the bridge, trails, or by the river any given day of the week is also a perk, I’ve even had my first kayaking adventures here!”
