Up to this point, we’ve spent a lot of time updating you on the project and other Task Force happenings. However, it dawned on me a few days ago that we haven’t written any posts on what types of programs will actually be IN the Teen Center once it finally opens.
Essentially, the primary programs offered at the Teen Center will fit into one of three categories: Service Learning and Leadership, Youth Employment, or Academic Achievement. I’m here to tell you about the first one.
We are working on developing a collaborative partnership with Rotary and other local agencies and organizations to offer service learning opportunities through the Teen Center. One possible example of this would be taking a group of teens to the local shoreline to do an environmental cleanup.
The YMCA’s Youth and Government Program is an example of a teen leadership program.that will be offered at the Teen Center. In terms of other teen leadership offerings, we are looking into creating a task force-like advisory council once the Teen Center opens to continue the work that we’ve already started.
Just what is ‘service learnng’ anyway? Check this out for more information.
