A Place for Everyone

Every child deserves a safe place and open-minded community to build their self-confidence and explore new interests. Each day, the Club empowers youth to play, to learn, and to thrive through a wide range of activities.

    The Arts

    These programs are carefully crafted to cultivate our member’s creativity and provide them with a positive outlet to express themselves. Through a variety of enriching activities, Teens can explore various artistic mediums and discover their unique talents. Some of the activities include painting, photography, culinary arts, pottery, and music.

    Health & Life Skills

    In these programs, kids learn more about how to take care of themselves. Curriculum is carefully crafted to help members adopt a healthy diet, make smart lifestyle choices, set personal goals, and grow into successful, self-sufficient adults.

    Education & Career Development

    Teens are given invaluable opportunities to better understand their interests, desired work environment and natural abilities in order to choose a potential education and/or career path for their future. This occurs through presentations and field trips of local workplaces, as well as our exciting, new VR technology by Tranfr. Transfr’s hands-on simulation training provides an immersive learning environment that gives members real-world experience in the skills they need for well-paying jobs.

    Character & Leadership Growth

    These programs are designed to help our members cultivate essential virtues such as integrity, empathy, honesty, perseverance, respect, and responsibility. Members are equipped with skills such as fostering effective communication, problem-solving, decision-making, and teamwork. Teens are encouraged to embrace challenges, take on responsibilities, and serve as positive role models for their peers--ultimately empowering them to make a positive impact on their lives and the lives of others.

    Sports, Fitness, & Recreation

    These programs promote active lifestyles, healthy competition, and an understanding of teamwork and cooperation. They will develop physical fitness, reduce stress, gain an appreciation for their peers and the environment, and promote a positive use of their leisure time (let’s cut back on screen time!). Through practice and guidance, members learn to embrace the values of fair play, exhibit good manners, and exemplify positive behavior both on and off the field.
