Bolder Options

WorldLegacy NC165 created an extreme makeover of Bolder Options Youth Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The remodeled Youth Center creates a space for the children to be joyful, free, and create possibilities. It was a space where children can now study, research, read, exercise, create art, and be connected. NC165 created an inviting space that was divided into different areas- homework, games, reading, TV, and arts/crafts. The project consisted of painting the youth center, installing a shelving system in the storage closet, new area rugs, tables, desks, chairs, four new computer stations with identical desktop computers, software, a new major brand 60-65” Smart TV, an L-shaped sectional, art supplies, and learning games. Budget $30,000.

Chapel Hill, NC (PRWEB) September 13, 2017

WorldLegacy’s NC165 Leadership Team will complete an extreme makeover of the recreation room at Bolder Options in Minneapolis, Minnesota during the weekend of September 16 – 17, 2017 by renovating and painting an existing space and adding new, state-of-the-art computers, a television, couches, tables, area rugs, furniture and toys.  The work will be done in excellence and will serve as a lasting gift to enable Bolder Options to open up infinite possibilities for the at-risk youth they mentor. This WorldLegacy Leadership Team is committed to having these children know they are respected and honored, and that the impossible becomes possible by risking and taking a leadership role in the world.

This extreme makeover project is the culmination of WorldLegacy’s three-month leadership development program.  What makes this project unique is that the WorldLegacy Leadership team of nine individuals completely designs the project from start to finish, cannot use any of their own money, involves the community to do 75% of the work, and must complete it all in three days or less.

The adventure will begin on Friday, September 15 at noon and 8:00 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday.  All renovations will be completed by Sunday afternoon and will culminate with a ribbon cutting ceremony beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 17.  The ceremony will celebrate and honor all donors, volunteers and leaders who gave of their time, talents and resources to make the project a success.  WorldLegacy invites the entire Minneapolis community and all those who work and volunteer for this incredible organization to come join us.
