Genesis Home offers a variety of summer enrichment programs to help ensure that our youngest guests do not lose the progress that they have gained during the school year. This problem is not unique to homeless children but living in a shelter throughout the summer contributes to social isolation from peers as well as missed experiences of a traditional summer.
Youth out number adults at Genesis Home by 2-1 with the largest age group being our 0-5 category. The tween and teen population at Genesis Home really benefit from Summer Camps and Youth Enrichment Activities that you help fund.
I can assure you that the parents thank you too!
Now, summer is over and school is back in session. Thank you for funding our Summer Camp Project! I hope that we can count on you again in 2016 when our need will be even greater as we expand our shelter space in preparation to merge with another organization that provides care to homeless families with children.
Our new organizational name will be Families Moving Forward. We will keep you posted in the new year with new projects and exciting updates and stories.
