Blue Star’s Teen Village Reaches Out with Community Service
Blue Star’s Teen Village is more than just a place to chillax. Among their many activities, Teen Village are spending quality time with the Boys and Girls Club of Hendersonville.
The club states their mission is “To inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens”
Their core promise to the community is:
We will uphold high ethical standards…
in every decision we reach,
in every action we take,
in every dollar we raise,
in every membership number we report,
in everything we do and say…
Because our most prized possession is our integrity.
With this in mind, our Blue Star teens have been working together with the Boys and Girls Club teens to help beautify their facility. Grounds were cleaned and mulch was spread as the kids mingled and experienced each others different backgrounds. Later, they all enjoyed team building activities like musical chairs and games like basketball and ultimate ball (ultimate frisbee with a ball!)
Tomorrow the tables are turned, with around 35 of the club’s teens coming to Blue Star Camps. Teen Village will bring the kids along for a typical Blue Star day, including options, pool and slip and slide. Our Teen Village Living Judaism reps, Zach Weinstein and Nichole Farchi-Segal, along with our LJ specialist Jamie Mafdali have worked hard to develop a service that is not only welcoming for our guests but also educational and informative.
Teen Village is looking forward to a summer-long relationship with the Boys and Girls Club of Henersonville and perhaps the beginning of some life time friendships for our youth.
