Featured club member of the month

Cindy’s mother is an alcoholic.  Cindy’s older brother and sisters started taking her to the Boys & Girls Club while Cindy was still in a stroller, just to get her out of the house.  When Cindy started school, she says, she was labeled a “special education child” and put in a school for students who needed extra attention.  She couldn’t go to the same school which her brother and sisters attended.  She was “different,” and for her that word “different” meant that she wasn’t as important as other children.

When Cindy was able to join the Boys & Girls Club on her own, she came regularly.  At the Club she was treated the same as everyone else by the staff and the other kids.  The Club Director called her his Princess.  Cindy now became “special” again, but this time in a way that made her feel really good.  With the encouragement of the Club staff, Cindy not only did well in school but has gone on to college, working toward a degree in criminology.

Cindy is another example of the way your investment of time and resources in the Boys & Girls Clubs pays off in the life of students.  Thank you.

It Just Takes One!

The philosophy of the It Just Takes One campaign is that it just takes one caring adult to make a life-long impact on the character of a child. The dollars raised from the One Campaign provide the youth of Fresno County with a safe place to learn and grow, away from the negative influences that many are confronted with today.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Fresno County is committed to enabling all children to participate in our youth guidance and development programs. We do this by keeping membership fees affordable for everyone...just $5/year! This is only possible thanks to contributions from generous individuals and businesses.
