I wonder will the kids who could use this most be in attendance. Can someone familiar with these programs comment on the participation of students from the "wrong side of town".
8:24 Please specify where the wrong side of town is and I will be happy to let you know who attends.
kids from neighborhoods west of 13, south of 50. Generally a rugged "circle" around Naylor rd., church st., Brew river area, and outgoing 50west.
As a frequent outreach volunteer in the past, I was always frustrated by the fact that we would put together great programs to help the kids, but it was the kids who were already doing great that would show up while the kids you are really trying to reach would be absent.
