Club Den is up and coming!
It’s programs and efforts are a major benefit to the Nicetown-Tioga community of North Philadelphia. This year, Public Health Management Corporation recognized Club Den for its emphasis on increased physical activity through its dance and movement club. The program was also featured on 107.9 WRNB radio station with DJ Lady B to highlight its work in the community and maintenance of a safe environment for youth. Club Den is a great example of the importance of after school programs. Youth are not attending to just socialize. They want to be active and involved in furthering their education and improving the quality of life in their communities. Club Den uses Project Based Learning (PBL), as an educational method that helps youth to formulate and implement their own ideas. This method allows youth to assume leadership roles. It also encourages teamwork amongst them, and emphasizes the importance of each individual’s contribution in achieving a common goal.
