Last week John L. Barr stopped by Maggiano's to tell about the great work he is doing with the Boys and Girls Club.
11,000 kids in the Metro Area participate in the Boys and Girls Club for only $2.00 a year. Providing leadership and character building skills, the clubs go where they are most needed. Using two different models; a stand alone model and a in-school model the club offers computer, academic, sports and art support. The kids have the opportunity to partake in experiential learning in such fields as Medical- Witness an operation, Flight School- learn how to fly a plane, Engineer- the scope of their work, an opportunity that provides experience and gives choices to kids. Choices are key at the Boys and Girls club. The kids need to know they have choices beyond getting involved in criminal activity, they have opportunities.
