I had the opportunity to visit Brightwood Community Center during their first Kid’s Club this new school year. On Tuesdays, the kids arrive at the center just for fun. Some of the older kids have homework that they work on. The younger kids play games. I was able to work with Ethan and LiShawni on their math – subtraction flash cards. That was a lot of fun! When they got the questions right, they just smiled; so proud of themselves. Tonight, I worked in the computer room. There were four older youth that needed to use the internet and complete their homework on the computer. It is great to get to know them. They seem to enjoy telling me about themselves and put up with some of my “old stories” of when I was younger in school. There were several volunteers from St. Mark’s (Carmel) and Castleton United Methodist Churches to help with tutoring.
There is still a need at Brightwood to have volunteers tutor. Brightwood would like to have the Sharing Space (food pantry) open during the evenings. Can you volunteer putting together food bags for the needs in this community? Get in touch with me to get connected. We can volunteer together – you might like to hear a few more of my stories!
