Category: Boys & Girls Club – Team A
For the last four decades, Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Joseph County has provided more than 20,000 at-risk children and teens from families in St. Joseph County with a safe place to experience life-enhancing programs that offer academic enrichment, health, and fitness, character development, hope, and opportunity. With four school-based sites and the free-standing O.C. Carmichael, Jr. Youth Center, the Club serves children from dozens of local schools, including public, private, parochial, charter as well as home-schooled children. Resulting from 21st Century Community Learning Center funding, the school year will result in a more structured, academically-based program enrolling fewer children but providing more in-depth intervention along specific disciplines, primarily Language Arts and STEM.
