We formed this organization for our teenagers who have nowhere to go after school and on weekend nights to socialize while learning in our community.  After school they have been choosing to go to the only places available to them, the library and convenience stores.  This has proved no good for them, and this is why:

• They are unsupervised and there is no structured program.
   
• When they frequent these places for too long it is considered loitering, and they stand the chance of police involvement.
   

There is no form of entertainment in or around Greenville, no movie theatre, bowling alley, etc.  For any form of entertainment, parents or teenagers must drive 20 minutes to an hour away, and for the teenagers, this increases their chance of incurring a car accident.  We need a solution to this dilemma.

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?  We need to open a program for afternoon activities during the week and Friday or Saturday night activities on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.  They could enjoy battle of the band concerts after school and on  weekends, perhaps learn from band members how to play their own instruments or get tips on how to play and get better.  We’ll get local artisans to come in and teach the kids how to create different crafts and artwork.  Off duty teachers have offered to come in to teach poetry and technical science projects.  We’re envisioning business owners delivering presentations on how they created and maintained their business entities.
