The Lima Family YMCA is pleased to offer teens that have finished 9-12th grade by June 2012, a two week service learning experience in June 2012 on the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota.
The program is designed to promote leadership development through service, youth-to-youth interaction and cultural experiences with the Lakota people. It is educational in nature and requires a high level of commitment as each participant will be challenged mentally, physically and socially. By the very nature of this experience, teens must be able to exercise a higher degree of decision-making and accept responsibility for their own actions.
Acceptance into this program will be selective. Teens must complete an application, gather references and complete a questionnaire. Teens who are a member of the Lima Family YMCA's Teen Leaders Club, Black Achievers and/or Youth in Government will be given preference in the selection process.
Informational Meeting: Tuesday, January 17th at 7:30pm in room 305 at the Lima YMCA.
Point of Contact: Heather Graham at 419-223-6045 ext 116
