OF THE CAPITAL AREA

onny joined the Boys & Girls Club four years ago. He was an angry child; he would act out by yelling, screaming and inflicting self-harm. His home structure was not strong nor did he have good relationships with his peers. One thing Jonny shared with us is that he had “staff that cared and listened”

Throughout his time at the Club he has grown, matured and developed coping skills to handle his anger issues. Jonny went from a boy with no friends and a family who didn’t care to a young man with a Boys & Girls Club family to support him.

Jonny has improved his communication skills, increased in his academics, and improved his character to the point of being recognized for the Youth of the Month. The skills and programs that are offered at the Boys & Girls Club of the Capital Area allowed Jonny to get involved in new opportunities, build friendships and develop into a grateful, caring and humorous young man.

Our Torch Club became chartered for the first time, meaning our youth volunteers received pins, membership cards and a program guide. It allows our youth to participate in various challenges and award competitions. The Club is very proud of the Torch Club youth as they have put in countless hours volunteering their time at the Club and special events, senior living centers, the food pantry, city parks and the list continues.

Two other BIG firsts that occurred at the Club this year were meeting our Million Dollar Match Endowment and

having Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s President and CEO visit us!

Thank you for your investment in the youth, the Club and in Pierre! Stop in, come on by

or give us a call anytime- we would love to show you what your gift is doing each day.

2016 has been filled with many firsts for the Boys & Girls Club of the Capital Area in regards to growth, programs, an endowment and special guests.

The Boys & Girls Club grew by 50� overnight moving our average daily attendance to 180 youth in our building at one time. If that isn’t impressive enough, we had several days exceed the average daily attendance and had an all-time high of 207 youth in one day!

The Boys & Girls Club focuses on three priority outcomes: Academic Success, Good Character and Citizenship and Healthy Lifestyles. We’ve added new National curriculum to offer our Club youth more opportunities to learn and grow. One of the youth’s favorite is the STEM programing which allows the youth to explore Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics while relating these topics to real life situations.
