Our Change for Change partner for June, July & August
Our Change for Change partner for the summer months (June, July & August) is the UMAR Youth and Boxing Program, located on West North Avenue. Social Action Clearinghouse (SAC) members visited the program in May and saw youth doing homework and studying with mentors from the community. UMAR 's purpose is to help youth learn life skills. Education comes first: "no hooks before books". The program teaches job readiness, good citizenship and high self-esteem. More information is available during Fellowship Hour at the SAC table.
