Recreation Outreach, provided by SONS (Save our Neighborhoods & Streets), is one of the programs supported by United Way of St. Clair County within our Teaching Youth Life Skills Impact Area. SONS's focus is on mentoring youth; especially those who need it most. They provide youth with opportunities to grow socially, academically, culturally and spiritually. SONS leaders engage youth with time, attention and truth. SONS Athletic program utilizes flag football and basketball as a means to engage middle school and elementary school-aged children in order to increase their socialization, confidence, and ability to work together in teams. The program targets at-risk youth in schools whose majority population qualifies to receive free and reduced lunches. Coaches and volunteers serve as role models and teachers. Participants gain knowledge of each sport and are exposed to sportsmanship principles as well as the need to be positive and persistent.
