ABC Leadership Program
With the help of the National Recreation Foundation's incredible generosity, RBCS has launched the ABC Leadership Program. Through this program RBCS aims to use recreation as a positive force, promoting our students' physical, mental and social health. Components of ABC include:
- Adventure: the low ropes challenge course building self-confidence, leadership and trust; the
Philadelphia Outward Bound Camp offers physical activities such as canoeing and hiking.
- Bound for College: local college visits and Career Day expand horizons for urban youth, encouraging
students to aspire to lofty goals.
- Competition: chess team, ballroom dancing and debate offer opportunities to learn lifelong hobbies and
engage in healthy competition and good sportsmanship.
The program is already off to a great start! Check back for updates on all the exciting ABC activities!
