MULTI-SPORT EXPLORATIONS

Multi-Sport Explorations is an after-school program where students will participate in fun-filled activities and learn more about a particular topic of interest in a supportive environment with Big Brothers Big Sisters mentors. Participants will spend the first part of the group taking part in activities, games, and discussions. The second portion of the group will be spent in an Exploration group learning about a specific subject in an interactive and supportive environment.  Our goal is to create a safe, positive space for students to explore different creative outlets! 

PURPOSE
