Blog 16: 2-Hour Meeting Answer #2
My EQ: How can a parks and rec after school program best support community adolescence?
My second answer is that parks and rec afterschool programs can best support community adolescence by encouraging healthy and active habits.
Details:
My mentor says health programs are more requested than any other.
It's well known that child obesity is on the rise, so why not provide healthy alternatives?
Afterschool Alliance states that health programs are more demanded than other enrichment afterschool programs.
I plan to continue my study of answer two by following the results of kids involved in the boot camp program at my center.

Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval
(1) For this component I plan on continuing to work with kids at the center I'm at and actually asking and recording what positive things they take away from the programs.
(2) I can easily meet the 30 hour requirement because there are always multiple programs going on at the center.
(3) this correlates with my EQ because my EQ is centered around how these programs can support the kids.

Well my component helped a lot. It game me a good answer to my EQ which I was able to present on. For instance, it was from there that I understood that afterschool programs benefit them kids by making them want to be more healthy. All the foods cooked in the kitchen are healthy, and theres always a game going on which makes the less healthy kids want to get up and go play with their friends. It was also through my independant component that i learned factors of creating a quality program. I learned that a big factor was the person running the program, the friendlier staff had more kids wanting to play with them than others. All this I learned from being out in the field, and not through my research.
