ANNOUNCING A NEW CIC/YMCA PARTNERSHIP
Non-profit organization Children of Incarcerated Caregivers (CIC) is teaming up with the Minneapolis YMCA and community partners to offer free, fun programming to children who have been impacted by parental incarceration. The program is open to Minnesota children ages 8-14.
Throughout the year, children will be invited to participate in entertaining and educational activities. The goal is to create opportunities that encourage them to engage in new activities, develop life skills, and increase their self-worth. Children will earn points for each programming event they participate in with the goal of earning enough points to attend YMCA summer camp for a week in 2021 at the magical Camp Icaghowan for FREE! Also, parents and other caregivers will have the opportunity to connect with each other and receive information about resources and activities for their families.
Our opportunities will focus on the following areas:
• Nutrition Education
• STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics)
• Financial Literacy
• Mentorship
• Special Family Events
• Sports & Swimming Lessons
• Caregivers’ Support System
Space in this program is limited, so sign up through this form: https://forms.gle/xbXbySnTmMmfihMM9. You may also contact us for more information at outreach@cicmn.org
