Portage has two youth programs operating out of North Memorial School. Coordinator Courtney Freeborn is pleased with how the first month has gone.

It's been about a month since Portage's two youth programs began at North Memorial School.

The Teen Warehouse and new pre-teen program have gone well, according to Summer Program Coordinator Courtney Freeborn. She notes there's still an opportunity to become involved, and recommends parents and kids take advantage.


Freeborn believes the programs are important as kids grow up, offering activities not always available in Portage.

She thinks there's an added benefit for the city by keeping kids off the street and channelling their energy positively.
