Reward a Child for Good Choices

Agape Development has an ongoing consumable program need that would be an opportunity for the youth, groups, families, schools, etc to collect highly needed items. Our after-school program, Backyard Bible Club (BBC), serves K-5th graders in the community. It runs Monday through Thursday from 3:00-5:30. During this time we provide help with homework, additional games and activities to help improve reading literacy, organized games and crafts, daily worship/Bible lesson, as well as the "seasonal' activities - health and fitness; Lemonade Day; service projects, etc. During BBC, we provide the kids with tokens for making good choices, completing homework, and participation. At the end of the day the kids can turn these tokens in for reward items - think kind of like a treasure box that many schools use. These can be new or used items - if someone is cleaning out their items and they are still in good shape, we will take them! Think items like erasers, pencils, girls hair items, bouncy balls, matchbox cars, paddleball games, non-electronic hand-help games - Oriental Trading type items. We have 30-35 kids attend BBC each day, so we go through reward items very quickly! Items can be delivered to Agape Development or a pick-up location can be set.
