Boys & Girls Club of the Sandhills

From games and athletics to drug prevention workshops, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills offers young people a range of fun and productive activities. Clubs are open each day after school from 2:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. – when research has shown children to be most vulnerable to gangs, violence and other risky behaviors. In the summer, Clubs and special summer-only sites open their doors all day to young people with nowhere else to go. A trained, caring staff implements proven youth development strategies and creates a stable, supportive environment for children and teens ages six to 18. Specially designed programs concentrate on developing job readiness, study skills, leadership, self-esteem, good health and social responsibility among Boys & Girls Club members. The Boys & Girls Clubs of America has a line up of tested and proven nationally recognized programs that address today’s most pressing youth issues. These Core Program areas teach young people the skills they need to succeed. All programming at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills relates to one of these six core areas: Leadership and Service Education and STEM College and Career The Arts Health and Wellness Sports and Recreation
