Teen Maze, an experiential learning event that delivers powerful information to 7th grade students in Story, Boone and Greene Counties, was recently held at the Boone County Fairgrounds Community Building.  This event is a “Signature Project” for Ames Golden K Kiwanis and Kiwanis clubs throughout the 3 county area.  Four specific areas are addressed as the 7th graders navigate thru a life size “Maze”. 1. Health and Wellness, 2. Relationships, 3. Mental Health, and 4. Life Skills.   Thirty Two Ames Golden K members spent better than 300 volunteer hours to help Youth and Shelter Services and fellow Kiwanis clubs to successfully stage a meaningful experience for the nearly 1,300 7th grade participants.
