Just for Boys 2009!

King Street launched our 2009 Just for Boys mentoring season last Tuesday, January 20^th.  At the kick-off party, boys met their new mentors, signed mentoring contracts, ate pizza, and played getting-to-know-you BINGO.  The pictures above are from the group's second meeting, where the boys played Medic in the gym and did some coloring.

Some of the activities that the mentor pairs have planned for the next few weeks are baking cookies, playing boardgames, and shooting hoops.

            Each week, the Just for Boys group, the first all-male mentoring group in Chittenden County, meets for one hour.  During that time, members take part in pre-planned activities under the guidance of Kristin Burdge, the coordinator of the Just for Boys program.   

We're always looking for new mentors, both for the Just for Boys program and for the community-based Junior/Senior Buddy program.  For more information on Just for Boys, contact Kristin Burdge at kristin@kingstreetyouth.org or (802)862-6736 x118. For more information on King Street's Junior/Senior Buddy program, contact Gabriella Tufo-Strouse at gabe@kingstreetyouth.org or (802)862-6736 x105.
