You may have seen on social media some schools are rolling out the red carpet and lining it with cheering adults on the first day back to school. We're going to do the same thing for our Play Captains on their first day of work. For those of you not familiar with the Play Captain Initiative, Fab Youth Philly hires teens ages 15-19 and train them in playful learning, child development and facilitation to lead games on the Play Streets and in neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia. Go to
www.playcaptains.com and
www.fabyouthphilly.com for more information. The PCI is possible with support from Impact Services, Drexel University's Promise Neighborhood and The City of Philadelphia.
For many of our teens, this is their first job, and so we want them to know that there are adults from their neighborhood that see them, believe in them and want them to have a positive work experience. That's where YOU come in.
Do you have 30 min to spare on Monday, July 15th from 9:30-10 am to line a red carpet in one of three neighborhoods and cheer our teens on?
Please use the form below to RSVP and indicate which neighborhood you'd prefer to go to. We'll do our very best to match everyone's request.
Once we get your application, we'll provide day-of-contact information, etc.
Thanks!
Rebecca
