| What does it take to change a young person’s life? At the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tar River Region, it starts with a warm welcome, a safe space, and someone who believes in their future. Every day after school, kids and teens across the Twin Counties walk through the doors of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tar River Region. Inside, they’re greeted by caring adults who know their names, believe in their potential, and help them imagine a future filled with opportunity. Meet Shriena. Shriena became a Club member over five years ago. Back then, she was a quiet teen searching for her path. At the Club, she found so much more than just a safe place—she found mentors, leadership opportunities, and the support she needed to build her future. This year, she graduated high school and is proud to be attending Meredith College this fall. Shriena is Future Ready—and her journey started the moment she walked through the Club doors. You can help the next Shriena begin their journey today. Your gift provides a safe place to grow, mentors who care, and life-changing opportunities. 👉 Donate Today – The Twin Counties Need Club Kids & Club Kids Need You But there are many more kids just like her who need that same opportunity.
