At Lititz recCenter, Babysitting Is Early Form of Compassion BY JEFF FALK
It’s a necessary service provided to the community. It teaches important life lessons like responsibility, empathy and patience. It’s a formative experience upon which career goals can be founded. Babysitting is a great way for young people to help others while helping themselves. R123275
Part of Bernadette Cisney ’s responsibilities as the youth program coordinator at the Lititz recCenter is to instruct a training course in babysitting. “My own kids love their babysitter,” said Cisney. “They get excited when the babysitter comes over. It’s someone different. Some Lititz recCenter youth program babysitters come in like, ‘What do coordinator Bernadette Cisney you want to do next?’ For parents, prepares to teach a babysitting See Babysitting pg 2 course.

At the nonprofit residential program for young men ages 14 to 20 with drug and alcohol histories, transformation happens every day through structure, compassion and a belief in second chances. “ We fo c u s o n a h o l i s t i c approach,” said executive director Chris Runkle. “We serve their needs from the substance use side, but we also serve their educational and emotional health needs as well.” Manos House has been guiding young men through that challenge since 1972.

The education piece was especially needed, Runkle said. “Our kids are coming in highly deficient in academic credits,” he explained. “We may get an 18-year-old who has zero high school credits.” To remedy the issue, Manos House opened Prospect Grove High School, an on-site school with certified teachers and a small student-to-teacher ratio. Although the school helped with one piece of the problem, the young men needed support in another area as well. “We were seeing the young men being discharged after completing their program, but then we realized the homes they were See Manos House pg 8
