Maple Four is assisting with programming in departments which include, Character and Leadership Development, Education and Career Development, The Arts, Health and Life Skills and Sports Fitness and Recreation. Each team member is assigned to manage various rooms including, the music room, the gymnasium, the arts and crafts room, the computer room, the game room and the library. Other tasks involve trying to get youth to join the club through recruitment, setting up a schedule for the kids during the day, landscaping and promoting the club.

I am certain Maple Four is leaving their mark.” Lanice assist in the arts and crafts department at the club
