The Village Youth Club has finished out the school year with a bang! We have expanded the program to 50 junior high kids and there seems to be continued interest in participation from kids from all over the region.
This semester the youth were involved with group sports like soccer and dodgeball. In order to ensure graduation from their respective grades we continued to priotitize tutoring to finish out the school year strong. Our youth enjoyed working with our team to curate and prepare for the Summer Village Youth Club Program.
The last day of Village Youth Club for the school year included an obstacle course and lots of delicious snacks and foods to enjoy.
The Summer Village Youth Club will run for 3 weeks in July and will start will three days of field trips. One to kayak with the Aurora Outdoor Recreation Program, then to the Museum of Nature and Science, then to a Rockies Game.
The second two weeks we will have JEKL Foundation STEAM classes on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons. Project Based STEAM Camp for up to 15 students. GENIUS WORKSHOPS will give students a culturally responsive and interactive experience in STEM including Art+design (STEAM) that will excite them about their futures in STEAM. SCALABLE GAME DESIGN (SGD) will provide students an opportunity to develop computational thinking skills as they design and create video games and simulations that are stored on an international arcade!
We are so excited to offer our Village Youth Club this experience!
