These activities are crafted with the goal of empowering children and fostering community engagement.
Self-Defense Classes for Kids
One of the standout programs discussed by Stacey was the self-defense classes. These sessions teach children the fundamentals of protecting themselves while boosting their confidence and discipline. Not only are these skills practical, but they also empower kids to feel safer and more in control.
Sports Programs - Basketball and Baseball
Uniondale Empowerment Resource Center offers a variety of sports programs, including basketball and baseball. Stacey emphasized the importance of physical activity for children, highlighting how these team sports teach cooperation, perseverance, and leadership.
Creative Crafts and Art Projects
In addition to sports, children are offered a creative outlet provided through the center’s craft programs. These sessions allow children to explore their creativity, develop fine motor skills, and express themselves artistically in a fun and supportive environment.
Tutoring Program to Support Academic Growth
They also have a tutoring program, which provides academic support to children needing extra help in their studies. Whether it's one-on-one or in group sessions, the tutoring program is designed to meet children where they are and help them achieve their academic goals.
