16. We learned that the simplest thing we do is
better than doing nothing.
We learned that there are a lot of agencies that
are dedicated to helping youth living in high risk
areas.
we have learned what it takes to be an
advocate and what is needed in order to fully
advocate on behalf on something or someone.
We learned a lot from our interviews with Play
It Smart youth.

17. Become a mentor for Play It Smart at
centennial college.
Starting in September 2013, you can help tutor
youngsters with their homework and help
improve their basketball skills.
