Going Green: Teaching Kids About Protecting the Environment

Thanks to a Boys & Girls Club Energy Star Grant, our After School students at P.S. 140 have been learning about saving energy and why going green is important for today and our future. Activities include performing in skits and creating pamphlets about why this is important.

Stepping

A favorite activity of many club members, stepping is a form of percussive group dance where the participant's entire body is used as an instrument to create interesting sounds and rhythms via a combination of footsteps, spoken word, and hand claps.  This activity, along with basketball and other athletic club activities, encourages members to stay active and exercise.

Our Wait List Is Growing - How You Can Help

If our After School programs didn't exist, many local youth would have no options when school lets out. But for every kid we help, there's another on a waiting list that we can't accommodate. Learn how you can help us serve more local children and teens.              [back to top]
