PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

The Program Team at TPP has been busy wrapping up another year of our After-School Program. It's so exciting to look back and see the ways our young people have grown over the course of the school year. Below are some of the team's favorite moments:

Authentic Worship

These past few months of after-school have been exciting. Our worship time with the students has been a joy to be a part of. Watching young people lead worship with no fear of what anyone thinks has been a prayer answered. Most kids care about what their peers think, and worshipping God isn't always the cool thing. Yet, the young people here do it unapologetically.

The Builders Room

Jarraun is a student in the after-school program, whose determination in the Builders Room has helped him complete three major projects this year. Each project has taken weeks if not months to finish, and its been beautiful to see him grow in his desire and ability to complete them, even when he runs into difficulties or issues with what he's working on.

Learning a New Game

During the month of April, K-2nd grade began to learn how to play kickball during their active play time. Some knew how to play, but most didn't. It was so cool to see the kids learning how to play the game and actually start to like it. By the end of the month, the kids knew how to play and always asked to play kickball for active play.

A New Class of Leaders

In the spring, our Program Team welcomed a new class of Leaders in Training students. It's amazing to see how this group of young people is passionate about working with youth and helping invest in the next generation.

Fun Fridays

Every week on Friday, we come up with fun activities for our young people to do. The final Fridays, we took the young people on two field trips: bowling and laser tag. It is always fun to see our young people having fun together.

Family Night

Family night happens every second Wednesday of the month. It is an amazing time to eat dinner and set up different activities that families can do together. Our final family night was extra special as we had one of our LIT alumni come back to help us run different activities and recreate a moment that he once experienced. He said I love being at the Pittsburgh Project, it's good to see that it's still here, creating a safe and fun space for kids to learn and grow into their own person.
