AWANA Program Continues to Engage Plantation Youth

Staff Writer
April 9, 2026

The youth of Plantation, a family-friendly city in Broward County, Florida, continue to find engaging activities and spiritual growth through the local AWANA program, a long-standing initiative dedicated to helping children and youth discover and grow in their faith. As of April 8, 2026, the program remains a cornerstone for many families seeking structured, faith-based enrichment for their children.

AWANA, which stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed (from 2 Timothy 2:15), offers a blend of games, Bible lessons, and scripture memorization. The program is typically divided into age-specific clubs, catering to preschoolers through high school students, ensuring age-appropriate activities and teachings.

Local churches in Plantation's diverse neighborhoods often host AWANA clubs, providing a consistent weekly schedule for participants. These gatherings are known for fostering a sense of community among young people, encouraging teamwork during game time, and promoting personal development through its structured curriculum.

Parents in Plantation frequently praise the program for its positive impact on their children, noting improvements in memorization skills, a deeper understanding of biblical principles, and the development of strong friendships within a supportive environment. The volunteer leaders, often members of the host churches, are dedicated to guiding the youth through the program's various segments, from handbook time to large group lessons.

While specific dates for upcoming registration or special events vary by individual church, interested families in Plantation are encouraged to contact local churches that offer AWANA programs for details on how to enroll their children. These programs typically run throughout the school year, providing a consistent and enriching activity for Plantation's younger residents.
