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 7:00 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

at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sandhills relates to one of these five core
areas:
