The Boys and Girls Clubs of St. Charles County continues with building plans and the actual construction of their new facility. The need for the new Club has not diminished by any means. If anything, there is a continued increase in the need for programs that will encourage our young children to realize the importance of education and staying in school. It is unfortunate that at a young age, many children are already thinking "I don't want to be in school any longer, I can get a job and support myself". In today's world, education of our children is one of the most important aspect of their life in which we can be involved. We must encourage and help our boys and girls keep pace within or above their grade level. Proficient reading and comprehension of what is read is vital. That is why the Reading Success program offered at the Boys and Girls Clubs is important to our children.
A new facility will allow the Boys and Girls Club of St. Charles County expand the important programs that currently are being provided and it will also allow for space to offer new programs that are vital in helping our children become our future leaders. The Capital Campaign remains in place and will allow for construction to continue and realize the completion of the interior of the new facility.
The current Club continues to deteriorate and the need to relocate to a new facility that does not have a leaking roof, provides more space and is without major maintenance issues is paramount.
The services and programs offered at the Boys and Girls Clubs of St. Charles County continues to be an essential part in the lives of the children we serve, the community in which we live and the families of these children.
