Testimonials
"My 8 year old daughter started going to Boys & Girls Clubs of Weld County at the beginning of this school year (2018-2019) and we both LOVE it. I am a full time employed mother who works at the community clinic in Thornton, CO. so I know how important it is to have resources available in our community to support your daily living. With a daily commute of 45 minutes to get to work from home, it was very nerve-wracking thinking that I would not be able to make it back on time to pick her up after school. Thankfully I was informed about this amazing program and was able to get her in just in time! Now I can go to work peacefully, knowing my daughter has a safe place to go after school and as mentioned previously my daughter loves to be at the club. She enjoys being around the other kids and all the different activities club has not only to keep them entertained but also to contribute to their growth and learning. I am very grateful for the amazing job Ms. Charly Whisenhunt and her staff do for our kiddos!"

"Homework help is an opportunity for Boys & Girls Club members to complete their assignments by getting assistance from staff and volunteers. By finishing their homework, they feel more confident and also relieved when they don't have to worry about homework at home."
