Vets Whole in One is honored to be collaborating with Disabled American Veterans Chapter 5 to facilitate these Mindfulness Events on every other Sunday. In order to encourage families to also join us, we are collaborating in the future with have a safe area for youth facilitated in the back part of the garden.
These Youth areas will have Certified Youth Safety Volunteers, Volunteers through DAV Chapter 5. We encourage any participants who would also like to volunteer for this area to let us know.
Youth Safe Area (High 5 Zone) - This will have several dedicated areas:
- Children 8 and under
o The front half of the court will be sectioned off and created as a small child zone. In this area, there will be padded flooring for physical activity, 2 tables dedicated to arts and crafts and 1 area dedicated to lounging and snacking. This area will have children below the ages of 8.
- Children over 8
o The High 5 Zone will also have an area that promotes physical activity through video games with a Wii system with sports game such as bowling, tennis and other fun games. We will have this on a designated projector screen that will be located between both areas. In the back half of the area there will be wifi available and a place for youth to hang out in the shade.
