During Covid, I still had to work. I’m a single mom. I would’ve had no choice but to leave my 6th-grader home alone all day. Luckily, the Virtual Academy program at Boys & Girls Club saved me from stress and worry. My daughter was able to be in a safe place with a structured environment and caring staff. During her time as a Club member, my daughter has developed into an outgoing and independent young lady. She is on the path toward a successful future.

I came to Boys &Girls Club in first grade. It’s a lot of fun here. Almost everyone is my friend. It makes me feel good and safe knowing there is a place where everyone likes me. The staff – they’re all heroes. I hope one day I can be a staff here too so that I help people and watch kids grow up. Well, after I play in the NFL for a while. That would be a good future for me.
