The Boys & Girls ClubsNon-Profit Spotlight

This group supplies our country's youth with places they can feel safe, while teaching them

valuable life skills, and providing the knowledge they'll need to be successful.

Educational opportunities such as special classes, summer camps, and one-on-one help

make sure that the children get the opportunity to learn the skills they feel are

important and can enjoy.

With employment programs, kids get the support and the help they need to find a job, but also the knowledge they'll need to get a

job in the future, such as resume and interview tips.
