North Hempstead to Host Safe Play Program at YWC  

North Hempstead, NY – North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena, Council Member Robert Troiano Jr., and the Town Board are proud to remind residents about the Safe Play program at the “Yes We Can” Community Center in Westbury. The program is partially funded by a grant received from New York State Senator Anna Kaplan.

Safe Play will create educational and enrichment programs for youth in the community, will be an outlet for youth recreation and interpersonal skill training to resolve conflicts, and include special guest speakers for workshops that engage youth and parents. The program is held weekly on Thursdays. The session designed for youth 13-17 years old is from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and the session for adults 18-25 years old will be held from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.
