Over 150 youth and 35 teams participated
in the
2nd Annual Hip Hop Hoopfest at Britland Park on August 28th,
the culmination of the summer-long Community Outreach Program. The seventh
annual summer evening activities program kicked off the week of July 19
with a focus on positive youth development, an ongoing process that
combines people, places, supports, opportunities and services to engage
all youth in meeting their basic personal and social needs to be safe,
feel cared for, be valued and be useful.
“The Community Outreach Program has been
extremely successful. It provided the youth of Fall River with safe,
positive activities to do right in their own neighborhood” said Mayor Ed
Lambert. He added “The Hoopfest is a great way to wrap up the summer.
It gives the youth a chance to get together before the school year starts
and be involved in some friendly competition.” | ||
