Summer Programs a Success!

Summer programming is finishing up in Fox Park! This summer was super busy and rewarding because of SouthSide Rec programming. Throughout June and July, four AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers took the lead coordinating four major programs! Ryan Wimberly successfully managed our 2021 youth baseball league, which had 170 registered participants.

Sheltoria Love and Haley Gray worked together to design educational and artistic projects for our Youth Gardening program at the DeSales Community Garden. Piper Field ran a Pride event and helped manage the Fox Park Field House project. All VISTAs assisted in delivering free breakfasts and lunches to youth daily, provided by Operation Food Search. Thank you to our summer VISTAs for making these community programs possible!
