2. Overview If the proper steps are taken the center can become
beneficial to the community. A utilized center will help bring the
community closer together.
3. The Opportunity Gather neighborhood leaders and other
residents together to open community center on a daily basis. Get
volunteers from the community to help set up programs for the youth
in the neighborhood.
4. Audience Analysis Having a place where young children and
young adults can come together can be instrumental in keeping those
children out of trouble. The programs that are offered at a
community center can teach them teamwork and the importance of
helping others. Community centers can give children a chance to
highlight any special skills or talents that they may have.
5. Benefits Community centers help to keep children and
teenagers off of the street. A community center can be a valuable
asset to a community in that it gets neighbors together for the
good of the community.
6. Risks It depends on volunteers to keep it running If there
are not enough volunteers the kids will stop coming An underfunded
center can cause a complete shutdown
7. Final Recommendation The community center implement an
afterschool program where the children can participate in a variety
of different activities. 1. Start an afterschool program. 2. Start
a music program. 3. Start a sports program. 4. Start a drama club.
5. Start an arts program. 6. Start cooking Lessons 7. Build a
computer lab.
