So I just approached the local Goodlife about my Teen after school program idea. It looks like they might be on board. You know that feeling you get when you tell someone you're going to do something and you realize you have to follow through? Yeah, that's what I feel right now.... Anyway, here's what I have...
the program would be an 8 week commitment from the teens. It would be once a week (to start) and would include the following components:
1. Prep (Learning) : This would include guest speakers to educate the participants on life skills like budgeting, effective study habits, time management or a time to get caught up on a school project or homework.
2. Training : Weight training. Although my programming would be based on Powerlifting but I would definitely incorporate the importance of learning about the body, etc...
3. Nutrition : I would love to use the SuperStore community kitchen for this. I want to show the participants what is available to them (based on their socio-economic status) and how to use it to make nutritious and tasty snacks and meals.
I would be looking to fund this with the registration portion of the money I collect from Lift for Kids Sake event at RibFest. I am approaching Converse in order to provide a pair of shoes to each participant every 8 weeks, and they will receive a Lift for Kids Sake t-shirt on day one, they would wear this each week.
So, yeah! kids are going to be getting free shit and lifting weights!
