The Main Idea fulfills a critical component of Agawam’s mission in youth development and its commitment to supporting the community. Boys are recommended by school principals, teachers, guidance counselors, clergy, and directors of youth organizations from across the state of Maine. To provide continuity and establish a connection with Agawam, boys are invited back until age 15, provided the camping relationship remains happy and positive. Wonder what volunteering is all about?
