- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Sumner Teen Center is coordinating a committee of like minded individuals with a passion to improve our community, by improving our youth. We need a group of adults who like to plan games, educational activities, and outdoor activities. Committee would need to meet about 1x per month to discuss volunteer support, supplies, food, etc. We host 4 week-long camps every year. (Fall Break, Spring Break & two summer camps).
Meeting for committees is on Aug 24 at 6p - 976 Grassland Place - in the Vol-State area.
If you are interested in more information about the meeting, or would like to meet at another time, please let us know.
Volunteers are a critical part of our organization. Without volunteers, we don't have the expertise to train students in many of the areas they fall short. By simply investing time with students, you help to build thier self-confidence, social skills and by sharing a skill or craft you are helping to shape their goals and desires for the road ahead.

Description
We lead the next generation of warriors, and the battle they face is the battle of the mind!
Growing trends in teen homelessness, unemployment, mental health struggles and even suicide have prompted us to study the root of the problem. Most of the time, it is a sense of hopelessness. Too many teens do not see their full potential. They are bullied and even programmed by society to think that they have no worth. When it gets really bad, they do not have the brain development to see the possibility of hope.
We've learned that hope is a sense of self, safety and community. This is where our warrior is found! In 2020 we are helping teens to find their inner warrior. WAR PAINT Whether for battle or celebration, the painted face of the warrior is unique to the individual. STC uses art as a means of self-expression, healing and fun. ARMOR The warrior's armor is designed for battle. It protects the warrior's weakest parts. The armor we build is that of confidence, skills and wit. TRIBE A warrior does not go into battle alone. He is supported by his tribe. They find a tribe here at STC. We are artists, gamers, actors, athletes and activists.
Be a part of the movement to change the way we teach the next generation...the generation that will take care of us one of these days!
