Local nonprofit organization DK Movement Cares, Inc. is partnering with the Meriden New Britain Berlin YMCA for a new youth program, “Mind And Motion Plus.”
The program is designed to “empower teens by equipping them with tools to manage anxiety, enhance communication skills and foster a positive mindset.” It does this through a combination of classroom learning and physical activity.
It is a 10-week program at the YMCA with two-hour weekly classroom sessions and one-hour weekly running sessions.
Derek Jones, president of DK Movement Cares, Inc., said he is “incredibly grateful” the youth program has a place to call home.
