While work construction continues on the Genesis Express Intergeneration Center on Jefferson Street, the non-profit organization’s outreach pushes ahead as they unceasingly build their programs for youth in Trigg County.
Club member George Radford said Genesis Express is hosting the first Wildcat Village Engagement Sports-O-Rama this weekend at Trigg County’s Wildcat Gym. However, this outreach program isn’t for the kids. It’s for their parents, grandparents, relatives, mentors, and anyone else who is a positive influence.
