Mayor Linda M. Balzotti announces that the Brockton After Dark summer program will start on July 2nd. Various activities will take place over the course of the summer at different locations throughout the city until August 24th. "Brockton After Dark accomplishes more than just keeping youth busy," said Mayor Balzotti. "The wide range of activities offered enables young people to take part not only in athletics, but also social and leadership development activities, learning skills that will stay with them for many years to come." Now in its ninth year, Brockton After Dark provides athletic and enrichment opportunities to youth, ages 13-20, at no cost, weeknights during the summer. Brockton After Dark will not be held Wednesday, July 4th. Various activities include basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, hip hop dancing, and art classes, as well as several other programs, which can be found on the City of Brockton's web site. Food will be provided at most sites. This is a great program to get these youth off the streets. I think many cites need to look into this and see if there city has funds for these programs.

This is nice Gwen! This program goes hand in hand with your community project! I also agree that if we had these type of programs available to our youth in more towns and cities, many lives would be changed for the better!

Brockton achieved national recognition as one of America's Promise Alliance's 100 Best Communities for Young People presented by ING for its initiatives to help young people. The competition recognizes communities across the country that focus on reducing high school dropout rates and providing service and support to their youth. What I find funny about this site is that many people don't know about the resources Brockton has, so its word of mouth. I'm finding it hard to find structured programs for the youth to stay off the streets, but its the best communities for young people.

Wow, I see what you mean! Maybe it's something bias on ING's part, because that def doesn't make any sense. You're a resident, I'm sure you have a first hand look at everything. Good post.

Great video about civic engagement. To me, civic engagement means being socially responsible. It means recognizing the communities you are a part of, the needs of those communities, and how you can help. Everyone serves a different role, and everyone can help each other in different roles, strengthening the community's capabilities as a whole.
