TUSTEN – Tusten Social Board Treasurer Jean Kogut will be swimming 2.5 miles from Nevis to St. Kitts again this year on March 29 for Tusten Social!

With 11 days left to raise the remaining $6,700 of our $10,000 goal to launch our Teen Club Programs this spring. The programs will be permanent, but their locations will move around our rural community to serve as many of our teens as possible. Where your donation goes: bean bag chairs, art supplies, rugs, sewing machines, teacher compensation, healthy snacks, and more. (And clicking to donate is a lot easier than swimming 2 miles 3x a week in Middletown to train!)

Please see this link, https://tinyurl.com/Tusten-Social-Swim-for-Charity, if you are interested in sharing. You can help create these teen spaces where they’ll make culinary delights, works of art, teen zines and more!

Participants in our teen enrichment programs will:

Strengthen their sense of self, improve their outlook for the future, and develop self-regulation.

Improve their social, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral competence.

Increase their sense of civic responsibility and improve their academic performance.
