Children
FIRST is Community Partnership’s after school program serving
4th – 8th graders. Children FIRST offers youth a safe, structured
place to hang out with adult volunteers after school until mom/dad
return home from work. Community Partnership staff facilitate
a 15 minute anti-drug workshop at the start of each session, after
which youth receive a healthy snack and sign up for a one hour
session with an adult volunteer. Sessions are designed and led
by adult volunteers. Typical sessions are arts and craft activities,
scrapbooking, nail painting, sports and games, sports card collecting,
snowmobile safety, a day in the life of a cop, making healthy
snacks, health lifestyles workshops and more. The program is offered
at no cost to the over 225 youth participating in the program.
