Our club serves “at risk” youth with positive youth development opportunities. Our Youth Development programs are readily available during the times of day and year that our members are not in school. Our after school program provides time for members to complete homework assignments, (Power Hour), participate in computer literacy activities, play in our game room area, be a part of our arts and crafts program, and participate in our athletic programs. Our summer program includes many of the activities provided after school as well as educational field trips, camping trips, school programs, art lessons, and the usual learning center, game room and gym activities. Grant money specifically designated for the running of all these programs. |
