Mr. Kantrovitz opened the meeting and then turn-id it over to Mr. Tennenberg who
explained that the meeting was being held to acquaint parents with program and to
enlist their aid in discussing problem areas.
1. He first covered staff set up:
Bea Tosi - Overall Supervisor of Inter & Senior Program
Leslie Schair - Nu-Teen Supervisor & Teen Special Interest Supervisor
Barry Oana - Half time worker with Teens
2. Structure of Program:
Nu-Teens k clubs serving kO 7th graders
Inters 6 clubs serving 35 8th graders
Seniors 11 clubs serving 150-160 Senior High
Last year's statistics showed a total of 30 clubs serving kJS teens
with a net drop of almost 200 Teens.
There are also 8 special interest groups.
3. Trends:
Mr. Tennenberg pointed out some significant program trends. Until 1963
the agency was used as a drop-in Center. Teens would be at the Center
daily, using the game room to greater advantage. From 1963 on,a sharp
decrease has eventuated in use of afternoon game room. The reason for
this is that agency members no longer live within 1/2 mile (or walking
distance) of the Center. There is now no afternoon game room because
of unusually poor attendance. The teenagers now come to the Center for
a specific purpose, i.e., clubs, special interest groups, or socials and
dances.
IMPLICATIONS OF CHANGING NEIGHBORHOOD TO TEE:.' PROGRAM
1. Parents drive teens to and from the Center.
2. There has been no apparent increase in non-Jewish members.
3. No apparent problems from neighborhood such as fights, etc.
Program has not been curtailed because of membership drop-off. The additional
Teen division, i.e., the Nu-Teens, was added to de-emphasize social aspect of
twelve year old programming and to slovcly integrate the child into teen life.
Bea and Leslie explained discussion programs.
