We are now into the swing of a brand new year and you know what that means - many new and exciting things are happening at Boys and Girls Clubs across Canada! Our young people are working hard to complete projects, striving for good grades and getting back into the swing of things after a long holiday break.
Thankfully, because of caring people like you, our children and youth continue to have the support they need to help keep their grades on track and achieve success in school. Your support allows our clubs to purchase much needed supplies such as rulers, calculators, workbooks, computer software, and other resources that our young members need in order to succeed - and often don't have access to.
Through our homework help programs, our young people have access to 1 on 1 homework support with trained staff and volunteer tutors at our Clubs to ensure they do not fall behind. But what you may not know about is the plethora of different educational and learning opportunities available to them at the Club that stretch beyond homework - giving them the skills and tools they need to grow their abilities even further. Club members have access to programs that help with resume building, technology skills, video game development, careers in the skilled trades, access to food and nutrition education programs, job shadowing opportunities, and so much more.
We are so grateful for your continued support. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of young Canadians across the country.
Stay tuned! We look forward to providing you with more updates about our important work in the weeks ahead!
