What would you like to see in recreational programming for youth?

Posted by No Limits Goaltending

We’ve seen a lot of comments lately along the lines of “there’s nothing for youth to do” and “someone needs to open a place for kids to hang out.” So we’re pulling Coach Kyle’s response out of the comments and making it a proper post. First, huge shoutout to JRMCC, Kikinahk, and Piwapin for the youth programming they already run. The Town, Village, and library do their part too. Tag any other organizations we missed because they deserve the recognition. Whether it’s minor sports or other organizations, a small group of people in this community are working hard to make things happen and they can always use more help so this is our subtle nudge to find an organization or cause you’re passionate about and volunteer some time with them.

The ice is out for the summer, which means Coach Kyle has some evenings free. We’re willing to take the lead on trying some new programming this summer but we want to hear from the people asking for it.

What do you actually want to see? Where should it be hosted? Who’s going to help? How does it get paid for? If you’ve got youth in your lives you’re hoping the programming reaches, talk with them. We want to know what’s going to actually engage them and what they’re going to actually show up and participate in.
