Celebrating National Boys & Girls Club week
National Boys & Girls Club Week features the three core program areas that ensure members a Great Future including Academic success, Character and Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles. Members participate each day in programs that emphasize core program areas, and during this week each day is focused on a core area.

Tuesday, the teens were in charge of planning the day's activities and leading younger members in program as part of teen leadership. Wednesday,  members displayed their Character and Leadership by hosting a Mock Election at the Club. Today will be a day of healthy lifestyles and members will participate in active games, and enjoy learning how to make their own healthy snacks. Lastly, Friday will be the day when members invite parents and friends to take a tour, and experience a day at the Club.

On Friday, March 11th, 2016 the Boys & Girls Club will be hosting an open house from 4:30 pm-6:00 pm. Staff will be explaining the programs opportunities available for youth.  Parents and youth can participate in cookie decorating, an art project, and other fun activities.
