[YL] Website to find youth programs and services

Fri Sep 28 12:47:55 EDT 2007

Brandon -

I'm training to be a School Library Media Specialist, and this  
semester I have to work with 5th graders (in NY state) on the 3rd  
learning standard for Physical Education:  "students will be aware of  
and able to access opportunities available to them within their  
community to engage in physical activity."  I will definitely be  
using your site to help students find places to get active in their  
city.  Thanks so much for putting it together.
