The Young Americans are successors to what many of us knew as Up with People. These are young people ages 18-26 that travel the country to provide workshops for elementary and secondary students. This year the workshop is at Green Mountain HS in Chester. Kids from Ludlow, Mount Holly, and Cavendish Elementary and Black River Middle and High School are involved. Hosting is something Ginny and I have done for years, mostly for international people, to our great advantage in terms of understanding and our own growth. These young people provide the same opportunities for us. They sing, dance, act, and teach these arts to our local kids. The finale is a production where the kids are the singers, dancers and actors. Young Americans are carefully chosen and thoroughly trained. They travel from school district to school district bringing an uplifting presence and eliciting enthusiasm from students, parents, educators and their communities. This opportunity falls within our Church’s historical community outreach. The dates for hosting are October 15 through 18. Hosting involves a place to sleep, some meals, and transportation. This is a well-structured and planned experience. Please see Bob Kottkamp for details and application forms. Ginny and I will be hosting. George Thomson can fill you in on how students benefit.
