Boys & Girls Clubs of Porter County Briefs: December 2014

rot3Making A Difference!
Many things happen at our Valparaiso Boys & Girls Club! Our members are growing and developing into responsible and caring individuals by participating in a host of key activities that fall into five core areas:

  • Character & Leadership Development
  • Education & Career Development
  • Health & Life Skills
  • The Arts
  • Sports, Fitness, & Recreation

Our Club provides diverse activities that meet the needs and interests of all youth! Our core areas engage young people in activities with adults, peers, and family members that enable them to develop self-esteem and reach their full potential. Club membership is $35 per child annually with fee assistance for those who qualify. All children are welcome to the Club visit twice and experience the fun before becoming a member!

Benefit Spotlight!
Did you know that we offer free memberships to those children with parents who are active in the military? Just our way of giving back to those who serve our country.
