Up2Us- This organization is something I got to experience because of working with Beat The streets, as a coaching training. A 3 day training course that took 8 hours each day with other coaches of different youth development areas across America. We started our day off with playing different games with all the other coaches like four square, then we did group learning activities, sharing knowledge and experiences through activity, learned about different strategies to work with youth and also group challenges of learning we did. GREAT program to bring in youth development coaches to share and gain experience and knowledge for the better of the growth of youth.
Beat The Streets- This amazing program that I competed with starting in my junior year of high school 2006, where I wrestled Beat The Streets member of NYC. At the time I had no clue what the actually set up for kids and great experience they received through this program. This started in NYC to help H.S students stay in school, raise grades, attendance and bring up the graduation numbers in many districts across the city. Beat the streets expanded to 16 other larger cities in the U.S lie providence, LA, Baltimore, Chicago, Atlanta and Detroit. In all areas where poverty stricken kids have many disadvantages to life and need help in developing their youth.
YES Program- I encountered the Youth Enrichment Service while I was in 6th grade in Brentwood NY. this program is after school and is designed to be a support and aid for children that need supervision, an activity,socializing and or desire to like school. Many friends I knew either had parents who worked late, not many friends, needed help with school work or found it fun to do activities and sports after school with a cool group of people. After school was let out they met up did HW for a set time period, watched part of a movie then set up to desired activities like school subject based or hobbies and interest and ended with a game or sport.
Kids Camp- This interests me because I know how crucial a summer is for any age of youth but it is a time ALL youth cant wait for. So why not be apart of a child's life when the time frame is the most anticipated. Kids camp actually finds camps for children based on what you identify as thing of interest to you. For example I can look into overnight, non religious, my age, sports, academic adventure, arts, teen etc.. So i can work with kids of specific and that probably signed up for something that actually look forward too.
Wilderness Works- This organization also would be something of interest id like to work with, this actual organization is in Atlanta and Seattle. The concept of Wilderness Works just excites me because this territory is something i have basic knowledge of like camping, some do and donts about surviving in the wilderness but it something id like to learn more of while teaching other children. i myself would love to be outdoors for a week or so and know i can survive and i think alot of youth would love the concept of knowing how to Survive in the woods and can relate it to surviving the "Streets"
