The Maverick Boys & Girls Club of Amarillo is excited to announce its Earth Day celebration, taking place on Saturday, April 27th, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at New Light Ministries, located at 1001 NE 24th Ave. This event aims to teach kids at the Maverick environmental stewardship and community engagement through tree planting and community clean up with employees and their families from Atmos Energy.
“Trees and kids both represent life, and we believe in this project that the Maverick is doing in this community, and we wanted to be a part of it and Earth Day is the perfect kick-off to say our planet, our kids, and this project will be around for a long, long time!” said Michael Gonzales, Atmos Energy.
The kids from the Club will be paired with Atmos employees and together will plant 7 fruit trees and participate in a neighborhood community cleanup effort to beautify the surrounding area of the new camp location at New Light Ministries. Together the Maverick and Atmos are highlighting the significance of community partnerships in building a sustainable future for our community, our kids, and even our world.
Every year, summer registration fills up in minutes causing an immediate waiting list for parents who are trying to stay in the workforce. This year the Maverick is trying to meet the community’s need by serving up to 100 more kids by adding an additional location. The Maverick will offer two different camps to choose from: The traditional daily summer camp on Lincoln Street or the new addition- Performing Arts Summer Camp located at New Light Ministries, 1001 NE 24TH.
Members of the Club specifically selected this new location for their Earth Day project in preparation for the new camp. It will be an exciting day as auditions to be in the Performing Arts Summer Camp will be held while the Earth Day project is going on outside. This Friday, 4/26, and Saturday, 4/27, offers a chance for talented individuals to secure a spot with tuition covered. The Performing Arts Summer Camp provides a dynamic platform for young individuals to explore their creativity and talent across various disciplines, including music, dance, drama, and more. By participating in the camp, children can foster confidence, teamwork skills, and a lasting appreciation for the arts and will be able to leave with their first portfolio!
Thank you,
