New Community Partner: The Children's Center

I had the privilege of meeting with Penney at the Children's Center last week. While they technically aren't a "new" community partner (SLCC students have been volunteering here for years,) it is my first chance to formally introduce the organization as our partner.



Just walking in to the building I had a good feeling. The historic building (formally an elementary school) has been modernized and has a clean, safe feel. There is a massive art sculpture in the middle of the common space with all kinds of working mechanisms to move a ball around a track. I probably could have spent an hour or so watching it.

During the tour I got to see the Therapeutic Preschool in action. These are children that for one reason or another are struggling in normal school, but you couldn't tell from watching. Very low ratios keep the individual attention high. If you enjoy working with kids, this is the place for you.

Don't hesitate to contact Penney Gregersen, Volunteer and Community Outreach Coordinator, at The Children's Center: 801-578-2329, or pgregersen@tccslc.org to see if you would make a good fit with the Children's Center
