CLUBS HAPPENINGS
Quick Club Quote: “I LOVE the Boys and Girls Club because I see my friends and we go on the playground. When we are inside we play fireball!” Owen, age 6, Kinnelon after-school satellite program.
We are Expanding: The Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest New Jersey includes our Pequannock and Wayne Clubhouses and satellite locations at area schools where we offer character-rich programming. We have twelve satellite locations, including our newest site at Memorial Elementary School in North Haledon, in which we provide before-school care and our after-school program for 81 Kindergarten to 4th grade students.
Good Mental Health: As part of our Trauma Informed initiative, our staff is taking part in Youth Mental Health First Aid training at our Clubs and off-site locations. By doing so, our directors and counselors will be better equipped to help our members manage their emotions and build resiliency to navigate these challenging times.
Partners for Good: THANK YOU to BAE Systems for their continued support of our Boys & Girls Clubs, most recently through a grant to purchase STEM projects for our after-school kids. STEM programs encourage curiosity, teamwork, and creativity, allowing young people to think critically and problem-solve. Involving children in STEM lessons provides a foundation for success, which they can build on throughout their academic careers and, ultimately, their adult, professional lives.
