Hello all,
Hope you are doing well! I wanted to reach out to let you know about a number of exciting programs geared towards preteens, middle schoolers, and high schoolers that we will be offering this summer. Registration is closing at the end of the month, so if you have young people who might be interested in these programs, please send them our way! Flyers are attached as well!
All of our registration can be done online at scatvsomerville.org/youth. There you will find short descriptions of our summer programming, as well as a link to register. Please note that we still have a number of scholarship slots available, so financial need is not a barrier!
I am including the descriptions of open programs here as well as attaching flyers for each program. If you could please post some at your organization, that would be great–or I would be happy to drop some off! In addition, our Youth Media Coordinator Heather McCormack, would be thrilled to visit your program and do a brief pitch about our summer options. Please don’t hesitate to contact me or forward parents to me if they/you have any questions at all!
