Meet Tomas
Tomas describes himself as a "bad club kid" that was even suspended from the Boys & Girls Club for a month. But they always welcomed him back. Today, Tomas is living the dream, but he'll never forget what others did for him when he needed help the most.
Meet Lizzie
For young Lizzy, life was defined by change and instability. Be she found consistent support and new group of great friends at her Boys & Girls Club.
Because of COVID-19, we implemented cleaning protocols, consolidated the number of clubs, went to smaller ratios, had (and still have) temp checks for Club kids and staff.
50% + of Boys & Girls Clubs families are at the federal poverty level. Which is an average income of $25K a year for a family of 4.
Crime doubles between 3-7 pm. Kids & teens need a place to go after school, during the summer and when schools are out
Currently the Clubs are supporting kids and teens with $75,000- $100,000 a month in scholarships
