Revolution Youth After School Activities Program
The program will be kicking off September 18th. You may have previously seen information stating September 11th; this has been changed. The eligible age is being changed to K-6th grade. The program will run from after school to 6 PM. It runs September to November 2019 and January to April 2020. Once children are signed up, they can be picked up from school by The Salvation Army. However, parents are responsible to pick their children up from our building (415 N 6th St) after the programming each week at 6 PM.
SIGN UP DAY!
Come on September 18th! The entire family is welcome and children can be signed up that evening starting at 3:30 PM. Dinner will be served at 5 PM and information will be shared with parents.
MUSIC INSTRUCTION
This year we are offering a separate Music Instruction night for students that are only interested in the music aspect. Music instruction will be available for youth first grade and up. Instruction will be given on baritone ukulele, cornet and guitar. Instruments will be loaned to the students and there is no charge for the instruction. Classes will run from 4:30-5:30 PM on Thursday evenings beginning September 19. Sign up is required by calling or stopping in the office at 415 N 6th St. Please note, parents are responsible for transportation to and from the music lessons.

In 2012, the National Alliance of Children’s Trust & Prevention Funds (https://ctfalliance.org/) developed the Strengthening Families™Protective Factors Framework into a curriculum called Bringing the Protective Factors Framework to Life in Your Work. It is designed to assist professionals who work with families and children to promote the optimal development of all children while protecting vulnerable children from harm.
Six 2-hour modules make up the training, sharing ways to help practitioners, community members and parents better understand and address family needs using a strengths-based lens.
Know The Five Protective Factors!
- Parent Resilience: The ability to recover from difficult life experiences and often to be strengthened by and even transformed by those experiences
- Social Emotional Competence of Children: Family and child interactions that help children develop the ability to communicate clearly, recognize and regulate their emotions, and establish and maintain relationships
- Knowledge of Parenting and Child Development: Understanding child development and parenting strategies that support physical, cognitive, language and social emotional development
- Social Connections: Positive relationships that provide emotional, informational, instrumental and spiritual support
- Concrete Support in Times of Need: Access to concrete support and services that address a family’s needs and help minimize stress caused by challenges
Participants will leave with:
- A better understanding of how to utilize the Protective Factors Framework in your work to strengthen families
- An understanding of how culture impacts perspectives and how to best work with families
- A renewed appreciation for the value of parents as partners in your work
