I just wanted to bring to your attention an awesome after school program I've done a bit of work with that is really awesome that I know we all wish were in our town when we were young.
The program is called REDACTED and it's a program for at risk youth in Belfast, ME. The program offers a place to go after school (obviously) to play anything you can play socially, so cards, board games and rpgs. They have kids running games all the time and their enrollment was around 150 kids earlier this year. The other thing that they offer is a free, hot meal every time the kids come, and they have developed a tracking program so they can monitor their real goal which is to build citizenship skills and create good members of the community. They do whole town based events which engage and educate even the locals.
I'm a four hour drive away, across the Canadian border, and I've driven down to help them with programing several times in the last few years.
I would really encourage anyone who would have loved to have someone organizing games for them after school from middle school until high-school graduation to check this group out.
Thanks,
Cor

I have to agree this is cool. the area I'm in is rather out in the middle of nowhere. and sadly during the summer the crime rate doubles due to kids not having anything better to do so they get into trouble.
