RECREATION
Serving as a community “safe space” on the walk home from school, the environment created by Best of the Batch Foundation is one where kids are free to be kids. In addition to educational programming, participants utilize the Clubhouse to hang out with their peers, participate in games, read, utilize the computer lab, dance, and play.
