Project Title: Dooda Play-Building Youth Leaders
Project Description:

Doo_da Activities premier program, Doo_da Play, brings children, youth and families together every week for play, for collaborative community gatherings, and to lead service projects.The Dooda Staff Teamt is dedicated to ensuring that youth are able to recognize and to attain their potential, and that the greater community has the opportunity to benefit from this amazing, sometimes untapped talent.
Doo_Da Activities started by developing and implementing Doo_Da Play bi-weekly events, encouraging kids of all ages, along with their families, to play together, while at the same time fostering youth leadership and development. We quickly discovered the untapped leadership skills in youth, and with support from Dooda staff, activities are now determined by youth, planned by youth, and executed by youth. Under the guidance of a participant-led President, Junior President, and Teen Lead, activities are created that provide kids and youth ages 4-18 with play opportunities, as well as leadership projects, and family activities. All activities, which have brought together from 10-200 children, youth, and community members, include cultural events, service projects, workshops, and recreation and play. Along with regular structured and unstructured play time (basketball, four square, tag, and more), recent events include a Black History Celebration (led by kids, with children and youth presentations), Drive by Love Event-Valentines Card Making and delivery to seniors, a Volunteer Food Giveaway Project, Family Day, with hiking and playing, a Girl-Power event, showing off the many talents of our female participants, and more. Along with empowering kids to be leaders, our aim is to create a community of love, safety, and continual growth and development.
