The primary intent of the Shrine Youth Club is to develop a program of arts and crafts, education programs, sporting events and overall good fellowship among the community’s youth.

The objectives of the Youth Shrine Clubs are: 1)                  To build character, health, skills and understanding. 2)                  To encourage and develop the spiritual side of the Youth. 3)                  To develop the natural desire for companionship and mass activities. 4)                  To develop cultural and social activities. 5)                  To develop a program whereby the Youth will not seek recreation on the street.  They will select their companions. 6)                  To stress community pride and take an active part in community activities. 7)                  To stress the importance of education and develop creative and natural abilities. 8)                  To develop special interests and meet the needs of member youth with formal and informal guidance.

Omar Temple No. 21 Shrine Youth Clubs has a Youth Group of about 85 kids ranging in ages between 6 and 16.  It also encompasses a Youth Athletic Club with a football team of 35 kids ages 6 to 8 and 30 cheerleaders ranging in ages between 5 and 12.  Our purpose is keeping kids off the streets by intervention at an early age.  Our youth program meets every Saturday.  A variety of activities are conducted such as field trips to horse stables, hikes, trips to state drill competitions and assistance with homework or any other problem that the kids may have.  We talk to the kids about staying off drugs, staying out of trouble, staying in school and the value of a good education.  We encourage parental involvement in all activities.

 

We are hoping to add an additional football team, soccer team, track and field team and introduce the youth non-traditional activities such as golf.  We will buy additional computers and software to assist us in our efforts.  These tools will also be used to provide computer training and assist with homework.

 

All of our programs are free and open to everyone.
