January at the Club: Serving Up 4,230 Nutritious Meals! |
We care about our youth and their well-being, especially when it comes to staying healthy and fit. We’re committed to doing our part and being a helpful solution to this important issue. We believe that it’s important to take a stand against childhood obesity and prevent health diseases in our youth. That’s why we make sure to serve only healthy meals to our young members every day. They each receive a nutritious snack and meal while at our Clubs. In January alone, we were able to provide over 4,000 healthy meals! We are committed to building a generation of healthy individuals. Our programs, such as Healthy Habits and Triple Play Plus, focus on promoting a healthy mind, body, and soul for all of our Club members. Healthy Habits teaches our members how to make good choices that support a healthy eating pattern and physical wellness. Through Triple Play, our members learn new ways to eat nutritionally, manage stress, and stay physically fit. We are grateful to our investors and supporters who help us in our mission to combat unhealthy youth in the Twin Counties. Thank you for joining us in this fight! |

Dreaming Big with our Youth! |
Did you know that 85% of jobs that will exist in 2030 haven’t even been invented yet? The world is changing at lightning speed, and we want our youth to be prepared for the future. At the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tar River Region, we believe in empowering our youth to graduate with a plan for the future. We have programs such as Planet Mogul and Clubhouse professional staff to help our youth reach their full potential. Planet Mogul’s primary focus is getting youth ready for the future by developing a diverse pipeline of entrepreneurs, community leaders and innovators prepared for the future workforce. Our Club members visited our local airport to learn about exciting careers in aviation, explored a movie production studio to discover the world of film and entertainment, and even had a special guest from Cummins Rocky Mount Engine Plant, a mechanical engineer, who shared insights about careers in engineering and the automotive/energy industry. Currently we have Club members enrolled in the program, and we are looking to continue to expand this to reach more of our youth. By exposing them to different industries and career paths, we’re igniting their curiosity and helping them envision their dreams. |
