These past two weeks I have been going through the clearance process in order to volunteer! I went to visit Norris Square for the first time this past week. Norris owns two buildings back to back that face the park on the north side. I learned that the older kids come on Mondays and Tuesday and the younger kids come on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. They keep the age groups separated primarily because the classes are separated. I learned, however, that the younger kids love to get into fights with the older kids at the program. They keep the younger kids across the street for separation. The lady at the front desk said that there is one child, in particular, who loves to torment the older kids. Sometimes they will mix the age groups up together for cooking classes or if there is a special occasion. I learned that this is the first year that Norris Square will be having Temple students as volunteers! I am very excited to start going to the center! I have to wait a few more days until my clearances are mailed and then I should be okay to start this upcoming week!
