Nitro Community Center hosting free Teen Xpo

A free Teen Xpo will be offered to Kanawha and Putnam County middle school and high school youth April 29 at the Nitro Community Center.

The Xpo is being coordinated by the Regional Family Resource Network.

The goal is to offer health information and demonstrate mentoring, volunteer and education opportunities for youth.  Hours for middle school youth are 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. and high school students may attend from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m.

The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation has funded refreshments and entertainment.  The National Guard will bring a climbing wall if weather permits.  Sandy Sowell’s Game Show Mania will provide entertainment.

Teens wishing to climb the wall must bring a release form signed by a parent.  It may be downloaded at www.regionalfrn.org.  Follow the link from “Current Events.”
