the Vancouver Parks and Recreation Firstenburg Center.
Teen Late Night Returns
A popular Teen Late Night pro-
gram through Vancouver Parks &
Recreation is back.
This fall, young people between
the ages of 11 and 18 are invited
to enjoy a safe night of free rec-
reational activities every Friday
night at either the Firstenburg or
Marshall community centers.
Scheduled between the hours of
8 p.m. and 11 p.m., teens from all
social and economic backgrounds
are encouraged to learn trust, re-
spect, self-esteem, and integrity
in a positive environment through
teamwork, social interaction, and
sportsmanship.
A participate from the program
states, “For me, Late Night has
been such a positive influence in
my life. There have been times
where things weren’t looking so
good in my day. I came to Late
Night and experienced such fair-
ness, structure and a caring staff
who listens…. Thanks Late Night
for giving me a safe place to be
myself.”
