Making a splash!

“Just wanted to pass along a quick photo from my COPY kid’s first swim lesson last night. I am told he had a great time and learned lots.” *Bob Moore, Project Coordinator for Central Oregon Partnerships for Youth (COPY).

Several young and school-age children in the water with kickboards at swim lessons.

A long-time K.I.D.S.’ community partner, COPY is a program within the Deschutes County Sherriff’s Office that offers mentoring for kids and youth impacted by parental incarceration. K.I.D.S. monies can be used in ways that public budgets cannot–such as swim lessons! It is a win-win-win for everyone! Or rather a swim-swim-swim.
