Saint Mary's volunteer group to launch youth program for grades 6'2
Summary
A Saint Mary's representative said the church will relaunch a youth program open to Granville students in grades 6 through 12 featuring mentoring, games, budgeting lessons and community service; volunteers are background-checked and no tuition will be charged.
Robin Anderson, who identified herself at the meeting as a formation coordinator at Saint Mary's in Granville, told trustees the parish will relaunch a youth group on Thursdays for grades 6'2. Anderson described activities—non-electronic games, mentoring, monthly movie nights, a 10-section life-skills program ("Grama map" in meeting materials), community-service projects and food provided at sessions. Volunteers from the parish will staff sessions on rotating schedules and have completed background checks; Anderson said the program will not charge tuition and she asked that the district help publicize the program.
Why it matters: Local youth programs can supplement school offerings by providing mentoring and structured after-school time. The presenter asked the district to help spread word-of-mouth and noted signage and community outreach plans.
Next steps: Trustees asked about the school's role in publicizing the program; Anderson said she already placed a sign in a local store and asked the board to share the announcement.
