| Proposal Description | We care for more than 1000 youth a year ages 6-18 by offering them a safe, well supervised, drug free environment where they can spend their after school and summer leisure time hours. For 39 years, The Boys & Girls Club has been in the forefront of youth development, working with young people from disadvantaged economic, social and family circumstances. Our club has actively sought to enrich the lives of girls and boys whom other youth agencies have had difficulty reaching. We offer educational, social, vocational, physical education, outdoor environment and character development for the youth. We also offer after school tutorials, computer classes, arts & crafts, summer field trips, flag football, swimming lessons and the Spurs Drug-Free Youth Basketball league. This grant cycle a major part of the funds we are asking for will go to replace our outdated computer lab. Most of the computers are XP and will not update. Most do not work at all. Decent computers are very expensive and as always we are thankful to organizations who give us used equipment, but they do not last long as they to our out dated. |
