Sports Program
In January 2006, Safe Passage launched a formal sports program for children ages 10 to 15. Many of the children live in very cramped quarters and in areas where there simply is no open space in which to play. As a result, Safe Passage has created a physical educational program to strengthen physical and team skills through sports and exercise while also exploring different topics such as: health, nutrition, discipline and values.
Safe Passage is proud to have a growing boy’s and girl’s lacrosse team!
This also represents an opportunity for interested volunteers. Soccer, basketball and lacrosse are all sports our children love. The sports and recreational program represents an effort to teach the children about health and fitness while also giving them positive alternatives to being on the streets.
