It was a full house at the gym that is part of Indian Education last night as parents and youth development specialists for the organization came out to hear about the various summer programs being offered to youth in the county. Indian Education puts the meeting together to share opportunities with parents, and to let them know there is some financial assistance available through their organization. The University of North Carolina Pembroke (UNCP) offers several summer programs including an upward bound program that gets youth ready for college. The Boys and Girls club of Pembroke offers a variety of programs for youth of all ages. Southeastern Regional Medical Center has a compeititve volunteer program for youth between the ages of 14 and 18. Of course our own 4-H Extension Agent, Shea Ann DeJarnette was there to talk about all the summer opportunities available through 4-H. She even took a slide show from last year's camp for youth to enjoy.
For more information about the opportunities that Indian Education can provide for youth please contact Rita Locklear at (910) 521-2054. For more information about the 4-H Summer programs please contact the 4-H staff at (910) 671-3276.
