The Goderich Signal-Star, 1985-05-15, Page 20PAGE 2A --GODERICH SIGN DNESDAY, IV Y 15,1985 Program will offer summer activities for eens with ministry grant The manner : job market is a tough one to crack and sometimes a little ingenuity can go a long way toward landing seasonal employment. And ingenuity was the key ingredient in a proposal from Janet Gardner of Goderich whose idea to offer summer recreational programs for teenagers in Goderich this year was approved for an Experience 85 grant. Recognizing a gap in existing programs offered by the Goderich Recreation Department, Gardner suggested that orgy ed activity was needed for young peop a between the ages of 13 and 19 who may -only work part-time during the sum- mer months. "The summer programs offered are geared to children 12 and under or adults," Gardner explained. "There was really nothing for the young adolescent." She figured the chances were better than average that the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation would endorse such a venture during International Year of Youth. The objectives of the program are to of- fer recreational activities for teenagers, a group not directly serviced through ex- isting programs. Gardner hopes that the participants in the program will also be responsible for developing and planning the activities they will be involved in. ,Everything from teen dances, to canoe trips, bus trips and fund-raising events will be part of Gardner's agenda. She began working out of the recreation office on McDonald Street Monday, May 15 and while students are still in school, there is much preparatory work to be done. "I'm going to be visiting the schools and talking to the kids about their ideas for programs and events," she explained. "I hope we can run trips and hold dances. But we'll try and balance the activities and use what's available in the community." Gardner's first priority is to determine the interest in summer programs for teens and then she will address the needs of those that are interested. "The program will eater to the young teenager°r and we'll try and put together the events they want." Gardner, who is completing the Univer- G sity of Windsor's communication course, will be visiting with many area recreation directors in communities where programs for teenagers are currently,affered to ob- tain background infor'knatiofl`and ideas. Also, she will be attending an Ontario Youth Symposium at the. University of Windsor May 22-25. The symposium, entitl- ed Toward a More Responsible Society, will concern itself with the problems and issues confronted by today's youth. As outlined in her grant application, Gardner hopes the program will not only offer activities to young people but provide them with an opportunity to gain leader- ship and organizational experience through involvement in the program. If successful, there is the possibility the program could be included in the recrea- tion department's ongoing service. The youth co-ordinator hopes that her idea will develop into a viable program serving a demonstrated need in the com- munity.
