LIFE-CHANGING PROGRAMS & RELATIONSHIPS

11-year-old Naomi Johnson has been a member of our Dartmouth North site for seven years, and says the club is "a nice environment to be in. There are friends everywhere. They have really good leaders, they’re really nice. You learn how to be social. You get to cook, draw, be in the gym. I just have a lot of fun here.” Naomi's mother, Jennifer Guitard, says that as a parent, she feels "listened to and heard, we really like that. The club is always striving to improve. It’s a safe space. It’s safe emotionally. Kids come here, they can be themselves. The kids have access to great leaders, to good role models, but because it’s the Boys & Girls Club, they also have access to special stuff or other leaders with special programs. Sometimes I’ll say to Naomi, ‘do you want to try something different, a different kind of program or activity?’ She always says ‘no. I’m staying at the club.’”
We are proud of Bailey MacDonald, one of our after school program leaders in our Cole Harbour site. Bailey is one of 26 Boys and Girls Club members from across Canada who has received a 2018 Best Buy Canada Grade 10 Scholarship! Now in Grade 11 at Cole Harbour High School, Bailey will receive $5,000 from Best Buy when she goes to university. The 16-year-old from Lawrencetown is interested in marine biology, exploring the ocean, and the conservation of our environment. The student council rep says she loves working with and getting to know our club kids: "Every kid comes from a different place, a different home. Every kid has something different to offer." Congrats, Bailey, and thanks for the difference you make!
Great job! You are a great role model for our kids!
Awesome! Congratulations very well deserved 💖 love from Willow and Thayne
