Ok folks, I have far too much on my plate....I want to save the world and I feel as if I am doing nothing to enhance SO in addition to school and a full time job, I want to start a rec center for kids and teens in my community. We have NONE. No Y, no Boys and Girls Club....nothing. SO I was wondering do you have rec centers, do you like them, do you go to them, do they make an impact?
We are, as Rennies, a people who love our community.....
Your input and ideas could help me help my community!
You might want to check with your local elementary and/or middle schools, or the public library...if there's no Y or Boys/Girls Club in a community, sometimes the schools take up the slack with afterschool programs ~ which are always in need of reliable, caring, trustworthy volunteers...and it's sounds like you would definitely fit the bill! :)
If they don't currently have any sort programs yet, maybe you could help get the ball rolling... ;)
I can comment on what it meant to me as a child. We had a wonderful Boys Club in downtown Little Rock. Huge gym, olympic-size indoor pool, tons and tons of stuff to do!
I spent most Saturdays there, and some week nights as well. In the early 60s, it was a terrific place to be...race was no issue (believe it or not!), learned to type-set print, swim, tried roller skating...never was able! I applaud your efforts, though I have no clue where to start.
