Serving Those Who Need Us Most
The Boys & Girls Club of Elkhart opened its doors to Elkhart school children in 2010, and has since seen rapid and amazing growth in the number of youth served. A full menu of youth development programming is now offered at Osolo and Beardsley Elementary Schools. Power Hour, a homework help and academic assistance program, is available at Bristol Elementary.
The Boys & Girls Club is now serving students at North Side Middle School, the latest Club to be opened up in Elkhart. This opening allows for the Elkhart Club to extend its services and serve students through middle school.
The Club has grown from initially serving 40 students to its current membership of over 550 members. An average of 450 children participate in Club programs and activities each day after school. Collectively the Elkhart Club has served over 1,000 children and youth this year.
The need is great. So, too, is the opportunity to inspire and enable hundreds of young lives to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.
