Children and Youth
Currently, the Pine Ridge Reconciliation Center hosts Kids Time on weekdays after school offering a safe place to come and play and build relationships with the Kids Time staff. Early in 2019 Pre-Teen Time was also added for 9-12 year olds to come, share a meal, and participate in age appropriate activities, field trips, and cultural learning. In the near future we are looking to also add a Teen Time to continue to walk with the youth into adulthood. |
