Serving Youth in our Community since 1970
During the late 1960's, Meacham Park was
faced with many problems including high
unemployment and a high rate of its young
men getting into trouble and becoming a part
of the juvenile justice system. William "Bill"
Jones, a long-time resident of the area,
mobilized a group of local adults who agreed
to assist with employment and to provide
transportation to and from work for these
young people.
Grateful for the support they received from
their "Sponsors", on August 10, 1970 these
youth met to form their group, SPROG. Their
goal was to plan activities for the younger
children of Meacham Park. The program was
initially designed for young men but it wasn't
long before the program expanded to include
young ladies, boys and girls.
Over these years, we have touched the lives of
many young people.
