Boys & Girls Club

 

Our guest speaker, Jarrett Croft, provided an update on the Sierra Vista Boys and Girls Club. As a mission, The Boys & Girls Club of Sierra Vista provides after-school programs that guide, educate, and motivate local youth...A place where ”Great futures start here!”The Sierra Vista Boys and Girls Club has been having a very productive year and has been providing high quality activities for the youth in the programs. One example noted by Jarrett Croft, was unveiling a learning center to encourage kids to get creative and expand their knowledge. This was made possible by combining the funds donated from the 2014 Festival of Trees and 10 computers obtained from a Cox Communications contest that created a special learning center for the Sierra Vista Boys & Girls Club. It is an amplified area in which to do homework to help the kids with academic success.

Another example has been the HAC (Huachuca Astronomy Club) visiting the Club and showing club members some meteorites, teaching them how a telescope works and more, helping to educate and excite the club members.

 
Also, Lowe’s helped renovate the local Boys & Girls Club garden by improving its look and size, as well as donating other brand new items for a new garden. Lowe’s will teach the club members how to start and maintain the garden. Club members will use this experience to gain knowledge on how they can help out around the community. Youth will also be identifying their insecurities, burying them as seeds in the garden and watching them grow into beautiful flowers/nurturing food. Jay Roach, Clubhouse Director of BGCSV, said that “This is more than just a garden for our clubhouse. This is the first step for or community service clubs, led by our club members, to learn about gardening and help clean up the community.”
