One
of our new Boys & Girls Club programs is opening in Irving at The Gene
& Jerry Jones Family Center for Youth. The children and youth in that area
will be able to take part in “Project Learn,” which supports academic
development at the local elementary and middle schools in the community.
The
new Boys & Girls Club at our Plano Corps will offer a range of quality
programs including nutrition, stress management, health & fitness, and how
to form positive relationships with peers.
You
may be wondering, why does The Salvation Army partner with the Boys & Girls
Club?
Working
with the Boys & Girls Club makes perfect sense because our organizations
have the same ultimate goal: to serve youth in low-income areas and encourage
them to reach their full potential by providing a safe place to grow and
learn.
Over
the past 150 years, The Boys and Girls club has developed a full curriculum
that we are proud to offer at our centers.
Our clubs reinforce and develop positive behavior and skills while
surrounding the youth with caring adult role-models.
Through
their experiences at our Boys & Girls Clubs, many kids begin to dream about
and explore potential career opportunities. We can’t wait to see what’s next
for the youth in our programs.
