I think the idea of taking a class and taking advantage of funding sources is a very good point.

I think your comment about making the kids feel included is so important. Sometimes kids feel like their needs are ignored since the adults seem to be making all of the decisions. I think talking with a child or teen and asking them what She or he likes to do or the activities she or he likes would be a great start to the conversation. It might help to create a list of local activities or organizations that a kid might be interested to join.
