Budget cuts could end national youth program in Kansas
Pittsburg residents warn the National Youth Sports Program will close after this summer as federal funding disappears. The camp, free for low income families, shrank from 25 to 20 days with a $40,000 budget this year, down from $77,000, forcing staff pay cuts and fewer activities. 318 campers attend with about 218 each day, and organizers emphasize the program’s educational, social benefits and positive environment for youths.
