Chapter Youth Program Re-Launches

The New York-North Jersey Chapter is gearing up to re-launch its chapter youth program, AMC Outings for Urban Kids (AOK), which will link urban youth groups with AMC leaders interested in sharing the wonder and adventure of the outdoors. The program will be targeted to children and teens who may not have had any previous opportunities to explore the natural environment.

If you are interested in becoming a youth activity leader, please contact Richard Barcia at 212-303-8889 (w), (212) 832-0232 (h) or for further information. Please note that all leaders must undergo a background check as well as training, which will be provided by the AMC.

We are also presently looking for at least two chapter youth program coordinators to help supervise the program and serve as liaisons to participating agencies.

We hope that you will consider becoming part of this exciting and rewarding endeavor.

Softball Committee

Unique to other AMC Chapters, in New York, We play SOFTBALL in a city park on most Sundays from mid-April to mid-September. Our games are co-ed and are a fun way to help you keep fit. The emphasis is on fun, not competition. We try to extend our good times with an optional lunch after the game.

The AMC Sunday softball games are played on the North Meadow of Central Park (between 97th and 100th Streets). We will meet at 10:30 AM at field number 9. Travel directions: Take "C" or #6 train to 96th Street. Call the listed weekly leaders to confirm game is on and for exact time and playing location. Note: It is crucial you call before each game to confirm that it is still on, as the Parks Dept. sometimes cancels for special events.

Check out our on-line schedule of practices (indoor in the Winter) and games beginning in April. Sunday softball in the park is an ideal recreational activity for many city dwellers. For more information about our softball program contact the Softball Committee Chair.

Contact information for committee chairs and activity chairs can be found on the Chapter Committee page.
