Youth Mentoring Youth at its Best

Adam is the 16 year old son of Brenda and Jim DeYoung, two of the newest members of the Optimist Club of Gettysburg.  The DeYoung’s travel from their home in Greencastle, PA to be enthusiastic members of the Gettysburg Club, setting forth an amazing example of community service for their children and others.  Adam is following his parents example of “Bringing Out The Best In Kids”, by selecting the Gettysburg Optimist Youth Basketball Program as his community service project, a requirement for his graduation from the Greencastle-Antrim School District next year.  He has traveled from Greencastle to Gettysburg to help coach and work with the youth of the Program.  “My experience with helping the Gettysburg Youth basketball organization was one of a kind.

The final session of the 2013 Gettysburg Optimist Basketball Program will be held this Saturday.  The schedule is as follows:
