Free Middle School Program Hosted by First Presbyterian

From Chess to Pickleball, Opportunity Zone Has Something For Everyone

By Jenna Martin, Publisher of Macaroni Kid Shelbyville, IN February 3, 2023

Opportunity Zone is free and just for middle schoolers only! 

First Presbyterian Church is offering several six-week experiences for Shelby County Middle Schoolers! Other shorter experiences are offered during the summer months. You can choose from guitar, photography, cooking, macramé, and others! 


Though free, it is expected that middle-schoolers commit to attending every meeting during the six weeks, if possible, come on time and participate in their group. Parents are asked to drop off and pick up their children on time. We may be able to assist with transportation in certain situations. 


Each activity is led by at least two adults who have been trained to work with middle schoolers. Kids will be supervised by adults at all times. The groups are kept small with an appropriate ratio of adults to kids. Parents or families are encouraged to meet the leaders and discuss activities with them at any time. 


Sound like an opportunity for your family? There are two ways to sign up!
