MINDS-IN-MOTION is a hub of recreation and activity for the youth of Franklinton centered around finding a connection between physical & mental well-being. Under the stress of living in a low opportunity area, many children find themselves struggling with mental, physical and behavioral disorders. At MINDS-IN-MOTION, children are given a space to get moving and express themselves in a safe, structured and engaging environment. By utilizing the positive effects of physical activity and creativity, MINDS-IN-MOTION helps the children of Franklinton become more capable of coping with the stresses of daily life while enhancing their overall well-being.
