This training will educate teens about the seriousness of the growing problem of domestic violence. Teens will then return to their 4-H clubs and present what they learned. The toiletry items and toys will be gathered at the December club meeting. I am pleased that our grant application was selected. It may well be the longest lasting FREE tutoring program in the city.
Students make the commitment to meet once a week after school to help the kids.
The Emerson school principal says she believes it is the caring that helps make the tutoring program successful. One of the biggest benefits these students get is knowing there is an older student who cares about them and who will come back on a consistent basis. The tutor also makes a weekly commitment. Youth tutor coordinator Christian coordinates the group weekly and has received numerous awards for her community service. This project is to improve community softball fields and will help our children recognize the rules of recreation.
