Can I enroll my child up before receiving orientation information?

No, you must fill out and submit the orientation info form found on any of the Club pages before enrolling any new members. Other Clubs from around the state or nation do not count. We do recommend that all members attend understand all orientation infomarion, but it is not a requirement for renewing members.

Can my child with special needs attend the program?
As long as your child is able to abide by the Club rules and can function in a large group setting, he or she may attend. We do not turn any members away, and continued membership is based upon the child’s ability to abide by our member code of conduct and follow the four Club rules.
I heard that the Club is only for low-income families. Is that true?
The Boys & Girls Club is open to children from all backgrounds. While it is affordable for low income families, it is not limited to a specific income bracket. We welcome all members to attend without qualification!
I heard that the Club staff members are all teenagers. Is that true?
The majority of our staff members are current college students or graduates who have a passion for working with youth and who are CPR/First Aid certified and trained to professionally manage large groups of children. We value professionalism and seek to hire individuals who have a well-rounded sense of responsibility and integrity, and who are mature enough to work in a professional setting. We DO have a small number of youth who volunteer their time, but they are never responsible for the supervision of members, and function only as a support to our paid staff.
How can I get involved in the Club?

There are many ways to get involved! Donations are always welcome, as are volunteers and opportunities for our kids to get involved in the community. Please visit our website or reach out to Alyssa Spiering at the information provided below if you would like more information on being involved with the Club or have any further questions!
