July 2, 2007 -- Reaching The Community With Fun In The Sun: Brooklyn Street Fair

Covenant House's commitment to the Brooklyn community is evident. This past weekend Brooklyn Community Resource Center held its Annual Street Fair. With more than 100 people attending the event, Covenant House’s Annual Street Fair was a huge success. Typically held during the week, Brooklyn Community Resource Center took the advice from those in the community and held this year’s event on a Saturday, allowing more of the community to partake in the festivities.

Whether bouncing in the castle, trying to hit a jump shot, or dunking a Covenant House staff member in a tank full of water, the Brooklyn community spent the day in the sun having a great time. Events like the street fair allow Covenant House to remain visible to the community while informing the young people of the opportunities available to them through the community center, such as free training courses.
