Rainier Beach Teen “Late Night” Program Finds Home at South Shore

The Rainier Beach Community Center Late Night Recreation Program, displaced by planned construction of a new Rainier Beach Community Center and pool, will continue to take place at South Shore K-8 School, 4800 S. Henderson St., through the 2011-2012 school year. Seattle Parks and Recreation and Seattle School District staff used the summer to try out the program at South Shore K-8, and both agreed it is the best fit for the community of youth in Rainier Beach.

The program will complete its summer quarter on Sept. 3 and will resume its “Late Night” operation every Friday and Saturday beginning Sept. 9. The events provide a safe, supervised environment for teens ages 13 to 19 to socialize with friends, interact with staff, and participate in a variety of formal and informal recreation and learning opportunities that build capacity and strengthen life skills.
