Membership
is only $15/year per kid, but it costs $350/year per member to
effectively run the Club.
On average, 85% of our members do not participate in any after-school
programs. The Boys & Girls Club of Harney County has trained Youth
Development Professionals who provide kids with positive relationships
to help them grow.
Boys & Girls Clubs are open year-round after school and during holiday
and vacation periods. Our Club operates more hours than public schools,
including a 7 week summer program. When kids have free time and need a
positive place to go, the Club is there.
With your help, we can continue to serve over 500 young people in
our community.
