We know the key to success starts with a solid education. At Boys & Girls Clubs of Rutherford County, we show our kids and teens they can reach their goals in school and beyond with a focused approach and hard work. We strive for every member to complete high school with post-secondary education or a vocation plan.
At Boys & Girls Clubs of Rutherford County, we want to teach kids and teens how to live healthier. Our programs focus on helping kids eat a more balanced diet, become more physically fit, engage in healthy relationships, appreciate the environment, and develop social skills. We hope to build healthy habits now that will last a lifetime.
We empower our kids and teens to become young leaders. We show them the responsibilities of citizenship and expose them to different cultures. We teach them about potential career paths and help them develop skills related to interviewing and public speaking. Perhaps most important, we focus on the importance of building meaningful relationships, developing a strong self-image, and serving as a potential influence.
