Summer Program 2006

Our fourth year of summer programming including a total of twenty-two paid teens. Seven of the teens  were After School Matters (ASM) Paid Interns and fifteen were ASM paid Advanced Apprentices. The summer program also received grants through Mayor Daley's YouthNet and Children and Youth Services. 

These funds funded a new project at the JHPCC called "Cooking Made simple".  The cooking program was a lot of fun for the kids and parents and culminated in a end of summer buffet prepared by the kids and parents. 

This summer included many different types of art projects as well as a full time youth video crew. The video crew documented the entire summer as well as prepare all the video and slide presentations. A anti-violence grant provided by the Illinois Violence Prevention Authority funded new equipment and software for the JHPCC video and audio projects.
