At the Club there is always something to do. The Club makes me feel safe inside. If you don’t feel important, this place makes you feel important.” learning. Now I love math! We do a lot of STEM projects here. I love STEM! One time we were seeing who could build the tallest building with sticks and tape, but then Bryar said we had fifteen minutes, and I was like, okay, no pressure.” Bryar is a staff member at the Elementary site, and according to Kenna, is always making her laugh. “Just last week,” continued Kenna, “I didn’t know how to make a snowflake, but Bryar showed me, and now I make great snowflakes, and I show the other kids how to do it.” After Wreath-making and clean-up, Kenna went outside for a short time before it got dark, decided it was too cold and came back in to join a new round of the spelling bee. For the spelling bee, each youth had a dry-erase marker and tablet to write their word on. Words were given according to grade level. If the first person to try spelled the word wrong, another youth could go for the “steal” and points were awarded for correctly spelled words. Lela added them all to a big dry-erase board at the front after each was spelled. Finalists were awarded a piece of bubble gum. Following the organized activities, it was time for free-time where the Club members had time to take out board games, play foosball, read, or create art. Kenna and her group were so into the Spelling Bee that they asked Lela if they could do another round. At the end of the day, it was time to clean up and head back to the cafeteria for dinner. Kids returned with full plates of beans, chips, cheese dip, cucumber slices, and oranges. Kenna sat with her friends and shared more. “I get bored at home, it’s just my sister there. At the Club there is always something to do. The Club makes me feel safe inside. If you don’t feel important, this place makes you feel important.” Overall Kenna seemed hopeful, often expressing there are subjects and activities that she isn’t great at yet, but is confident that she will be much better at soon, because of the Club and the staff there. The Concrete Clubs are in a unique position to make a marked impact on Concrete youth, as the Clubs are new to the area, and the community was in great need of a more comprehensive solution for after-school options for youth. Kenna is one of more than 140 members at the Concrete Club who can now look forward to a safe, fun, and positive place to go to after school.
