What places are available for our Youth to go and gather with their peers aside from the mall?
The reason I ask this is I have an idea for a TechRec Internet Media Center which allows our children a place to gather with their peers and use technology for learning and enjoyment.
If such a place was available would you as a parent pay a monthly fee which would allow your child to hang out in a safe relaxing environment to use the internet and other technologies to enhance and stimulate their minds.
I could see these being franchised just like McDonalds. Thank you for your time and any feedback is welcome.
Yes, I would definitely consider the monthly cost to have my children be able to experience what you mentioned.
In my small community there isn’t anything like that. Just the neighbor’s basketball goal, a community life center sponsored by an area church or the lake.
I’ve wondered what it would take to develop a YMCA type thing or a building where kids of different ages could explore science, physics, nature,the latest technology, develop plays, record a newscast, etc.
I’ve also wanted to start a non-profit volunteer organization with kids and parents where the elderly or shut-ins can sign up to receive services provided by a child/ parent or a group of children and their parents (or even children without the parents). The services could be raking or mowing yards, grocery shopping, walking with them around the block.
Next possibility for my community:
an olde time shoppe for the later generation to pass onto the younger generations the things they know how to do that we have forgotten. (How to make jams, preserves, knit, sew, quilt.)
