This is all about TIME.If the child has time there will be people on every turn to teach them WRONG THINGS.we have to use that time to teach them Right THings.It takes a village,not just 2 parents.I know a prominent person in the city who use to frequent the boys club....We cant let those young lives slip through our hands...THEY are our FUTURE people....tunsie

"it takes a village"--tunsie, you're right--and this is a great opportunity for people to take an hour to get to meet the kids in the community themselves--to make a personal connection and have a positive impact on youth in our community.

I would love it if anyone who takes part in this could post a comment about the experience afterward...
