The Boys & Girls Clubs
This group supplies our country's youth with
places they can feel safe, while teaching them
valuable life skills, and providing the
knowledge they'll need to be successful.
Educational opportunities such as special
classes, summer camps, and one-on-one help
make sure that the children get the
opportunity to learn the skills they feel are
important and can enjoy.
With employment programs, kids get the
support and the help they need to find a job,
but also the knowledge they'll need to get a
job in the future, such as resume and
interview tips.
