So, maybe sitting down with kids talking isn't your thing. Maybe you aren't really sure about "going green," and you need your spring break to go home. BUT, you LOVE sports, right?!?! I mean you are at Lindenwood...
The Campus YMCA offers a little program we like to call Y Coaches. Being the amazing athletes we are the Campus Y volunteers love coaching little kids.
Currently, LU's Campus Y is connected with the O'Fallon YMCA helping coach their youth sports. Our volunteers right now are helping coach basketball. They meet once a week for practice and depending on the week will meet on a Saturday for a game.
Connecting with kids can sometimes be difficult but many of us have that love for sports. You can be that mentor for a child that really needs it. We don't know what goes on for these kids when they aren't at practice, but we do know that during that hour or two they are with us we can make an impact.
The Campus Y has a great group of Y Coaches volunteers and their excitement and enthusiasm for the kids is incredible to watch.
