FROM THE
DIRECTOR’S DESK
GLENCOE
Dear Glencoe Friends and Neighbors:
I want to talk to you about one of the most available and inexpensive public programs we have in
Glencoe. It is also a program with immediate, lasting and effective benefits for you, your family and
friends, the local economy, and our village.
You may think of a certain NBC show or conjure an idea of fun and games when you think of parks and recreation.
It’s a common misconception, but parks and recreation is more than that.
You entrust us with the care of your children and we value that trust. We develop their life-long motor skills as
toddlers and young people by organizing programs specifically with instruction and coaching developed for their
age groups. We also help you become and stay fit, and build programs to promote family unity. We also expand
your skills and knowledge, increase your self-esteem, and reduce your stress. In short, we make you feel great!
Our park and recreational facilities are point of pride for the Glencoe community. They add quality to our environment, they maintain
the value of our homes, they bring in tourism dollars to local businesses, and we keep the air and water clean by preserving open
spaces. For example, picnickers buy charcoal, food, and coolers. Other park patrons purchase shoes and sporting equipment to
engage in physical activities in our facilities, such as playing tennis or walking on our multi-use paths.
Through participation in organized activities, we provide the opportunity for social interaction, promote sensitivity to cultural
diversity, eliminate loneliness, create memories for your later reflection, and provide you with space to have fun, relax, and enjoy
life. The benefits of parks and recreation span every age and demographic of this country and affect society at both an individual
level and as a whole.
With the rise of internet and social media usage, there are a lot of people (young and old) who are spending large amounts of their
free-time in front of a computer screen. Promoting the benefits of unplugging from this trending pastime will be crucial as the need
of park and recreation agencies evolve. We must continue to connect with all users by making recreation fun and engaging to all.
Park and recreation programs are a means to providing families with opportunities to spend important quality time together. They
contribute to a proactive way for adults to better their health, prevent debilitating illness, and increase individual life spans. They
provide youth with a social outlet. Most importantly, park and recreation agencies are inexpensive and convenient for everyone in
the community.
A key to increasing the exposure of youth in recreation activities is to have active and encouraging adult role models. It makes sense
that kids growing up in households with active adults are likely to adopt an active lifestyle too. Parents must take the opportunity
to seek out activities that can be shared with their child, or with the whole family.
“Direct a child to exercise and few will respond with enthusiasm – if they respond at all. But issue an invitation to join the fun,
and most will accept eagerly.”
There are countless ways to enjoy recreation with a child, starting from toddler through the teen years. Glencoe Park District
offers activities for all ages and levels, during hours convenient for everyone, even the working person. These activities range in
price, but are comparable to taking the family to the movies, or out to lunch, and the benefits of enjoying recreation as a family are
immeasurable. Ancillary benefits include exercise and improvement to their general health.
This fall, the Glencoe Park District will be focusing on ways to Unplug and Play. We invite you to join us for classes, special events
and programs designed to celebrate recreation.
Sincerely,
Lisa

with a positive, caring adult role model.

children learn best through meaningful interactions with the world around them in

Children’s Circle Full Day Preschool opens at 7 AM and closes at 6:30 PM, with enrollment options that range from two to five days per week. Because
Children’s Circle Full Day offers classes 50 weeks a year, you may register at any time. Children’s Circle is closed for one week in August and one

NEW! INFANTS
JR. PRESCHOOL
Our Infant teachers understand that this first school experience for your child
lays the groundwork for healthy social and educational growth in the years
to come. With an emphasis on building trustworthy, loving relationships,
our program focuses on individual needs and enjoying new experiences in
a warm environment.
Our Jr. Preschool teachers keep kids active with weekly learning themes that
spark imagination and promote investigation. Language, math and science
learning is embedded in routines and play, with large and small group
experiences providing support for developing concepts and understandings.
TODDLERS
Our Toddler teachers serve as guides as children learn about themselves,
their friends, and the world around them. The drive for independence that
characterizes this age group spurs impressive language, social, cognitive and
physical gains. We focus heavily on new and sometimes messy experiences
whether it be painting with pudding or playing with soil in the sensory table.
PRESCHOOL
In the Preschool classroom, learning is rapid and engaging as we prepare
for the kindergarten year to come. Curriculum is strong and embedded;
numbers become real through counting games and routines; letters draw
life from songs, storytelling, rhyming, and situational experiences. Cooking
is science and socialization, as the fruits of children’s efforts are enjoyed
together. Use of social stories promotes deep imaginative play, cooperation,
and cognition. Learning is interactive, with plenty of opportunities for your
child to explore and follow his interests.

EARLY
LEARNING CENTER
THE EARLY LEARNING CENTER DIFFERENCE
Early Learning Center (ELC) has provided a strong foundation for Glencoe’s preschoolers for more than thirty-five years.
Our goal for children is not just school-readiness, but life-readiness. We are proud to be licensed by the Department of
Children and Family Services (DCFS) and to follow the Illinois Early Learning Standards. The standards were developed with
the support of hundreds of Early Childhood educators in order to provide developmentally appropriate benchmarks. Our Early
Learning Center teachers use this resource to guide classroom experiences and activities, providing a solid foundation for
developmental and experiential learning.
VISIT OUR
WEBSITE
www.GlencoeELC.com
OUR EDUCATIONAL TEAM
We pride ourselves on our ties to the community; some of our teachers have been with Glencoe Park District preschools
for more than twenty-five years! The key component in accomplishing our mission is choosing individuals that can easily blend in with our Early Learning
Center family. Our educators have academic degrees in Child Development, Early Childhood or a related discipline, and life experiences that encompass
parenting and grandparenting. The ELC staff receives continuous development, support and training in and out of the classroom. All staff completes fifteen
hours of continuing education each year to understand the latest trends in early childhood education and child development. The broad depth of knowledge
enables the Early Learning Center to provide an exceptional preschool experience and allows your child to trust, respect and bond with their teachers, in
addition to meeting our high standards of education and experience.
OUR PHILOSOPHY AND CURRICULUM
The Early Learning Center philosophy is that children learn best through meaningful interactions with the world around them in a secure environment.
Learning is an active process, whether it happens during a teacher-guided group experience or during free choice play. We emphasize cognitive, social,
emotional and large and small motor development through our play-based curriculum.

2YEAROLD PRESCHOOL
PRESCHOOL
TEACHERS: WITH JENNIFER MUNCK, KATHY
LAZAR, CJ SMITH
Hand-in-hand with social learning comes language development, a key
task for our busy 2’s! We enrich the day with songs and rhymes, stories and
conversation, and build vocabulary as we splash in the media table, experiment
with paint, and try out new roles in the housekeeping area. Learning is natural
and easy, with lots of choices and opportunities to explore.
TEACHERS: NATALIE DAVERMAN, JACKIE KOZELKA,
PAT BOUDREAUX
Teachers show the way by providing social models and support as children
begin to negotiate and problem-solve. Special units bring learning to
everyday experiences; a class trip to the grocery store sparks a host of new
understandings about classifying, color, and nutrition, and sets the stage
for imagination. Learning in the 3’s room follows a developmental model;
children learn through real, hands-on experiences, using their curiosity to
drive discovery.
AM TEACHERS: BOBBIE SHORE, KATHY KRAEMER
PM TEACHERS: JACKIE KOZELKA
In our 4-year-old class, learning is rapid and engaging as we prepare for the
kindergarten year to come. Curriculum is strong and embedded; numbers
become real through counting games and routines; letters draw life from
songs, storytelling, rhyming, and a host of situational experiences. Cooking
is science and socialization, as the fruits of children’s efforts are enjoyed
together. Use of social stories promotes deep imaginative play, cooperation,
and cognition. Learning is interactive, with plenty of opportunities for children
to explore and follow their interests.
ADVENTURES IN LEARNING
FOR 3’S AND 4’S
Add enrichments to your afternoon. This class piggybacks onto the ELC
3 & 4 year old AM classes. Your child remains with classmates to enjoy
engaging activates led by trained staff. Adventures in Learning is for ELC

KINDERGARTEN
Since 1942, Glencoe Junior Kindergarten (GJK) has been a nurturing,
vibrant preschool that is recognized for exceeding standards set forth by
the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). GJK
is a warm and welcoming school full of active children and supported by
a collaborative community of families, teachers and staff. Through loving,
caring interactions and a play-based curriculum focused on all areas of
development, we work with children to prepare them for kindergarten and
the world.
WHAT WILL MY CHILD LEARN AT GJK?
Our goal for every child is that they have self-confidence and a love for
life-long learning. We use the NAEYC Standards, the Illinois Early Learning
and Development Standards, and the Common Core State Standards to
guide our curriculum. We design our program so that children inquire,
hypothesize, explore, interact, engage and persevere.
OUR PHILOSOPHY AND CURRICULUM
CREATING CONNECTIONS
GJK follows an emergent curriculum, which means that the ideas stem
from the children. Through careful observation and rich conversations,
the children help to decide what topics will be covered. When children
are interested and vested in a topic, they are eager to learn. Once a topic
has been decided, our teachers look at the individual goals that we have
set with each family and ensure that the classroom activities provide
opportunities for growth.
GJK values and promotes a sense of community between school and our
families. We work in union with families to enrich the lives of our children.
Parents and caregivers have the opportunity to become involved with the
school in a variety of ways based on their interest.
•
Home visits to enhance the family/home connection
•
Annually, three parent teacher conferences
•
Dedicated classroom technology for curriculum enhancement and
parent communication
•
Parent Education opportunities throughout the year
•
Family events like: ice cream socials, barbecues and Mom’s/Dad’s
night out.
•
Drop off designed to allow time for parents to interact with one
another and with the teachers.
•
Family Resource library, access to community seminars, and support
from both the Director and Assistant Director are available to all of
our families. Raising children can have its challenges and we are
here to support that effort.
INDIVIDUALIZED EXPERIENCES
We believe that each child is unique. Through meetings with our parents,
student observations, and implementation of age-appropriate assessment
tools, we learn the strengths of our students. It is this information that
guides our daily practices. Parent-teacher conferences are held three
times a year and each child has an individual portfolio assessment
demonstrating progress throughout the year.

LITERACY COORDINATOR

Research shows that a love for reading starts early. Our literacy coordinator
works with small groups of children to strengthen their understanding of
books and create a strong foundation. Children are learning to reflect on
a story, compare and contrast different types of books, share key details
of a text, identify characters, settings and much more. Children feel
empowered as learners!

place to play!
NSSRA has over 600 recreation, sport, cultural, social, and leisure offerings available throughout the year, creating

TENNIS
YOUTH TENNIS The 10 & Under Tennis format is about fitting tennis to kids on age and physical size. Racquets are sized for small hands, and the courts are smaller and
easier to cover so instead of waiting in line, kids can spend their time playing. Balls are lower in compression; they bounce lower and don’t move as fast so
they are easier to hit. This allows kids time to get to the ball and helps them develop optimal swing patterns. All that equals more fun and less frustration!
MIGHTY MITES: The main focus is learning the primary stages of athletic skills such as movement, balance and hand-eye coordination. Individual or
team games accompany fun activities to help develop basic swing techniques and tactics.
LITTLE ATHLETES: The basic tennis strokes are further developed; rallying is introduced along with basic match tactics.

ADVANCED DRILL AND PLAY: 45-minute drills start each session. The emphasis is on organized match play with the intent of putting into effect what
has been mastered from previous practice. Varied competition with tips from the pros strengthens game skills. The level of play is advanced, so acceptance
into the group play situation is set up at the teaching pro’s discretion.

KARATE
PRIDE DOJO
Pride Dojo was founded in 1988 to teach and enhance the philosophies of Shotokan
Karate. The Dojo strives to create a challenging, yet nurturing approach to training in the
martial arts. The program is inclusive, and does not necessitate any background in the
martial arts, nor is it relevant to the physical qualities that any individual brings to the
program. The Glencoe Park District, together with Pride Dojo, offers classes to students
age four and older. All students enroll as beginners, and as they attain physical, mental,
and spiritual growth, they progress through different belt levels. Students interested
in learning the positive aspects of the art of Japanese Shotokan Karate are welcome.
PREKARATE Students learn how to follow instruction, develop balance, coordination, strength, and concentration through appropriate game playing. They are taught
listening skills and gain self-confidence through creative activities, while engaging in a fun and exciting environment.
YOUTH KARATE GLENCOE BEACH
Students improve coordination, power of concentration, and balance while learning kata and sparring actions. They experience continued growth in
self-esteem and confidence as students broaden their abilities and knowledge of the martial art. The skills obtained in this class help enhance your
child’s abilities in school, sports, and other outside activities.
ADULT KARATE Training in karate offers many benefits to becoming a whole individual. Self-defense skills, physical fitness, mental as well as physical challenges, and
a connection to others in this age group are principal goals at this level. Karate training is an excellent means to keeping your mind-body connection
and keeping multi-tasking skills sharp and focused. It releases tension, improves balance and agility, and improves both health of mind and body. This
class is designed for any age and any level of physical fitness.
KOBUDO CLASS This is for students that have a rank of yellow belt or higher. Kobudo means weapons in Japanese. We work mainly with the bo staff, which is a
long wooden staff. In this class students are taught Katas with the bo. Katas are a series of movements with attacks and counters against imaginary
opponents. This class prepares students who are interested in competing in tournaments in the kobudo division. The bos are provided in class.
BEGINNING SPARRING This class is for students that have a rank of yellow belt or higher. Sparring is a controlled fight with safety equipment. Students learn how to block
and counter with a partner. The class teaches offensive and defensive techniques. Students start to learn footwork and how to hit targets. The class
prepares them to participate in tournaments if they choose. Students enrolled in the class are required to purchase safety equipment.
BATTLEFIELD No video games compares to Pride Battlefield, because this class places your child right in the middle of a battle where the fun and life lessons just
keep coming. Your child will be challenged physically and mentally to become the very best he or she can be. Each action-packed class will include
information on Japanese Samurai weapons and codes of honor, as well as leadership and strategy. Each child will learn the basics of swordsmanship,
including how to identify when to lead, when to follow, and when to get out of the way! Kids will participate in mock battles using foam swords and
other Samurai weapons that are fun, safe, and extremely cool!

REALTIME REGISTRATION
When you see a program or special event that interests you, sign up! Many of
our programs are very popular, and waiting until the last minute may result in
a full class, insufficient enrollment, or class cancellations.
Registration is handled on a first-come, first-served basis. Online registration
is the BEST way to ensure a spot. It is also the fastest and most convenient
way to register. Participants who register and submit their payment online will
know right away whether or not they are enrolled in a program, via an email
confirmation. You must complete your transaction all the way through; a class
in your cart doesn’t ensure registration. You may still register in-person, by
mail, or by fax, but online is more efficient. If you have any questions, please
call us at (847) 835-3030. Note: Registration forms received after 5PM will
be processed on the next business day.
HOW TO REGISTER
Registration is accepted online at www.glencoeparkdistrict.com as well as
in-person, by mail, or by fax (unless otherwise indicated in the description).
To fill out a paper registration form, visit our facilities or download a form at
www.glencoeparkdistrict.com (Registration). To register for a program, be
prepared to provide the following: participant birth date, emergency contact
information, activity information, payment information, and a waiver/release
signature. Incomplete forms will be returned. Payment can be submitted in
the form of cash (in-person only), checks (made payable to the Glencoe Park
District), or by Visa or MasterCard.
CREATING A HOUSEHOLD ACCOUNT

either online or in-person, i.e., if you do not already have one. To create a
household account, and/or register online, click on the Register Now registration
link at: www.glencoeparkdistrict.com. Activation of a new account will take
one (1) business day; you will receive an email confirmation. Since all future
registration confirmations will be sent via email, please be sure that your
current email address is always on file with us.
UNAVAILABLE CLASSES
CHANGES TO A HOUSEHOLD ACCOUNT
Please inform the registration office when there are two separate households
and/or for any other household changes that need to be done, whether the
change needs to be done prior to the day of registration, or on the actual day
of registration itself.
PROGRAM CANCELLATION POLICY
The Glencoe Park District may cancel a class up to one week, but no less
than three days prior to its starting date if the minimum for that program has
not been met. In order to avoid unnecessary cancellations, please sign up for
your program early.

GENERAL
INFO
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
Glencoe Park District intends to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
in its efforts to afford equal opportunities to persons with disabilities. If you or a family
member has a disability and are interested in participating in or attending Glencoe Park
District services, programs, or activities, the District will make reasonable accommodations such as changing rules, policies, and practices; removing barriers to participation; or
providing auxiliary aids or services to ensure you are given an opportunity to participate.
If you require publications or other materials of the District in a special format (Braille,
audio cassette, or large print), please advise our office. To assist the Glencoe Park District
staff in making these accommodations, we urge you to call prior to your involvement and
discuss the necessary accommodations with our staff. If you have questions regarding
the Americans with Disabilities Act, call us at (847) 835-3030.
PARTICIPANTS WITH ALLERGIES
Participants with allergies, such as bee stings, peanut products, dairy, etc., may be at risk
of a serious allergic reaction while participating in a Park District program due to contact
with or ingestion of the allergen. The Glencoe Park District cannot guarantee an allergen
free environment, but with your cooperation we can create safer surroundings and be
better prepared to handle emergencies. The Park District will make reasonable, feasible,
and practical accommodations to allow participants with life-threatening allergies to
participate in our programs. Glencoe Park District requests participants, parent(s) and/or
guardian(s), complete and submit a Food Allergy Action Plan, and other required forms,
a minimum of seven (7) days prior to the participant’s first day of attendance, to allow
time for accommodations and to train appropriate staff. Forms may be obtained at the
Takiff Center main registration desk.
PETS IN THE PARK AND AT GLENCOE BEACH
Pet owners are encouraged to be courteous to others by abiding by the Village ordinance
that requires pets to be leashed and owners to remove and properly dispose of pet
excrement. Your cooperation in being a good neighbor allows everyone to enjoy our
parks. Pets are not allowed on Glencoe Beach May 15 through September 15. Pets are
not allowed inside any Park District facility unless it is a service pet, or a dog obedience
class is in session. Pets must never be left unattended. For the safety and well-being of
your pets, we ask that you leave your pets at home during the July 4th fireworks show.
100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE
BALANCES DUE & DECLINED CREDIT CARDS
All account balances can be paid by Visa or MasterCard online by logging into your household
account and selecting “Pay Your Account Balance.” There will be a $25 service fee for all
NSF checks returned, and for all billable program fees that are past due for every month
thereafter. A $10 additional fee will be charged for all declined/rejected credit cards.
WAIT LIST POLICY
If a participant is wait listed and a space opens in a program, the first person on the
wait list will be automatically moved into the class. That participant will have 24 hours to
provide payment or decline the open spot. If there is no communication and payment is
provided, it will be assumed that the person who was moved into the class will participate.
If no payment is received within 24 hours of enrollment, the next person on the wait list
will be enrolled and the first person on the wait list will be disenrolled. All wait-listed
customers will receive a refund if no class openings become available after 30 days
from the start of a program. In the event openings occur, the Park District will notify the
customer and payment will be due at that time. Payment must be received prior to the
registrant being transferred in.
THREE DAY WAIT PERIOD
There is a three-day wait period from the date of class registration to your child’s start date
for before or after school Park District classes. This timing allows updated information to
be shared between Park District staff and Glencoe Schools. Thank you for your support
as we work together on the safe dismissal of your children.
PRORATING
Prorated refunds will be done on a “per class basis,” less a service fee of 20% (not to
exceed $20 of the program cost), and less for any amount incurred for materials, special
clinics, costumes, uniforms, and/or other expenses. Camps and contractual programs
will not be prorated. Prorated refunds will be based on the date the refunded request
is received and not the last attended date. In medical circumstances, a prorated refund
will be issued upon receipt of a doctor’s authorization. In the event of the participant’s
relocation, a prorated refund will be issued less a service fee (20% but not to exceed
$20 of the program cost) upon a receipt of a document that reflects imminent relocation.
KIDS CLUB, EARLY LEARNING
CENTER & CHILDREN’S CIRCLE
An annual $125 non-refundable, non-transferable fee is required upon registration/start
of each school year. Once the program has started, no prorated fees will be given for
partial month’s attendance or withdrawal. All withdrawals from the program require
a 30 days’ notice, which must be submitted in writing. In lieu of full tuition payments
during the summer, an additional $300 fee will be billed on June 1 to Children’s Circle
registrants who withdraw early, and do not attend in June, July and August.
CAMP
Camp refunds will be issued if requested at least (7) seven days before the start date
of a camp, less a service fee of 20% of your total camp cost (Early Bird or Regular
rate), with a max of $200. Note: If you drop your child from a camp less than (7) seven
days prior to the start date of camp, NO REFUND will be issued.
SCHOLARSHIP ASSISTANCE
The Glencoe Park District provides financial assistance/scholarships to residents who
qualify based on specific eligibility requirements, and who are interested in enrolling in
a program, but are unable to, due to financial hardship. Those seeking assistance must
obtain a scholarship packet from the Glencoe Park District Takiff Center, complete the
confidential application for financial assistance, and schedule an appointment with
Family Service of Glencoe to discuss your household’s financial needs. Applications
are reviewed on an individual basis, and notification of a decision is given within two
weeks of the received application. Registrations are not processed until scholarship
applications are approved and the participant’s portion is paid. Scholarships are not
retroactive. Scholarship requests/applications should be received three to four weeks
prior to the start of a requested program. GPD Scholarships must be authorized and
approved prior to registration. Special Payment Arrangement Plan requests must be
made at the time of registration. Placement is based on class availability at the time
the registration is processed.
Certain programs are not eligible for scholarship assistance through the Park District,
where contractual agreements exist for instruction of services rendered.
The Glencoe Park District is constantly striving to offer quality recreation programs
to the public. If you feel a program did not meet your expectations due to the quality
of instruction, facilities, or program content, we will refund your money, one hundred
percent! This Guarantee excludes contractual programs, trips, leagues, special events,
seasonal beach/ice passes, and rentals. To be eligible for a refund, you must: 1) Attend
at least two classes and inform us within 48 hours after the second class, and 2)
Complete our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee form, which is located on our website at
www.glencoeparkdistrict.com.
REFUNDS GENERAL POLICY
Program fee refunds, less a service charge of 20% (not to exceed $20), will be made if
a request is received at least (3) three business days before the start of any program,
by phone or in person at the Takiff Registration Office. After that, refunds can only be
given for medical reasons or relocation, and will be prorated. Refunds cannot be given
for programs, or trips that require advance admission or entrance fees.
•
Medical refunds require a doctor’s note and will be prorated based on the date
the medical documentation is received; no service fee applies.
•
League refund requests are due seven days before the fee payment deadline. If
a participant attends a clinic, but not any team practice or games, and requests
a refund due to injury, or realizes after the clinic that the sport is not for their
child, we will refund the league fee, minus $50 for the clinic, $6 for the jersey
and a $20 service fee.
•
When the Park District cancels programs due to insufficient registration, full
refunds will be issued. Refunds will be issued within 7 days of a class cancellation.
•
For refunds less than $10, a household credit will be issued on your account
to be used toward payment for future programs. All refunds may be added to
your household account, upon request.
•
The Park District will not issue refunds for classes which are canceled due to
inclement weather, or other circumstances beyond the District’s control. The
Park District may schedule a make-up class, when possible.
For Preschool, Children’s Circle, Camp and Kids Club refunds, please see below.
•
•
All pre-paid fitness passes, Watts ice passes, beach tokens, and boat space
rentals are non-refundable and non-transferable.
•
Other restrictions apply for facility rentals.
•
Relocation out of the area: Upon receipt of appropriate documentation that
reflects imminent relocation, a prorated refund will be issued less 20%, but
not to exceed $20.

GYS GLENCOE YOUTH SERVICES
50
Glencoe Youth Services (GYS) was formed in 1971 after alarm over the death of a local teen from a drug overdose, and
community concern that there was no place for the teens of Glencoe to go.
After humble beginnings in the basement of the Glencoe Public Library and moving five times in the subsequent seven
years, GYS has been situated at its current location (680 Greenwood Ave.) since the early 80’s where we continue with the mission to give
the teens of Glencoe a place to call their own.
GYS offers teens a place where they can confide in staff, meet new friends and participate in a wide range of activities that are geared
toward aiding the youth of the community, and the community at large.
To find out more about GYS, take a look at the programming schedule or see how you can help, visit www.glencoeyouthservices.org.
SNAP SPECIAL NEEDS ADULT PROGRAM
The Special Needs Adult Program (SNAP) is the longest running social and support program for young adults with
disabilities in New Trier Township. Started in the early 1990’s and hosted by a number of different organizations, GYS
took over the formal sponsorship of SNAP on April 1, 2008.
Run similarly to GYS, SNAP provides many different programs and events geared toward providing activities and support
to young adults who have graduated from high school. Participants gather on Tuesday nights from 6:30-9:30 PM in the GYS building to relax
with friends, celebrate special events and meet new people. SNAP staff also provide extra individual support to it’s participants by helping to
search for jobs, write resumes, accompany or provide a ride to an appointment and offer support during a time of crisis.
GYS is proud to sponsor this great program. If you would like to learn more about SNAP, please call (847) 835-3121.
