Here we go again! Lots of fun for kids in neighborhoods all over Fresno with the start of a new season of Saturday Sports! There will be FREE SATURDAY MORNING CAMPS at 30 different sites this year providing activities and “green space” for kids who have little to do on a Saturday morning.
We are also thrilled by the number of Fresno State students who will be volunteering in a variety of ways this school year.
Last weekend the Fresno State Softball team visited Addams Saturday Sports. Track and Field, and Lacross teams will visit other sites in the coming weeks. These students add such excitement and energy to the programs while giving kids the opportunity to envision themselves as college students which reinforces Fresno Unified’s goal of preparing career ready graduates.
A group of Nutrition students are volunteering regularly with N.E.E.D. (Nutrition and Exercise Education Development) visiting a different Saturday Sports Program each week. You know the kids are not only learning the importance of fitness, but the value of eating healthy foods each day as well.
Marketing and Communications classes are also volunteering with ENP. After they get an understanding of the goals, mission and vision of ENP, they will each work on a project that will help them gain experience in their area of study and help ENP at the same time.
It’s a win-win for everyone! . . . and the year has just begun!
So much to celebrate!
ENP’s partnership with Fresno State students is a valuable one . . . THE KIDS LOVE IT . . . and all of us at ENP do, too!
