NOW MORE THAN EVER
FALL PROGRAMMING
Safety is the number one priority of Boys & Girls Clubs of Grand Rapids and Greenway and we are committed, more than ever, to ensure that members, families, and our community have the resources and support they need to navigate these uncertain times.
As Fall decisions are being made in the Grand Rapids and Greenway school districts, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Grand Rapids and Greenway is also making decisions on what our Fall Programming will look like.
At this point, this is what we know:

Our Virtual Programming is up and running, including some live feeds so that we can see the beautiful faces of our friends and check in with one another. Our online connections include distance learning support and social-emotional support. Additionally, continue to provide activity packs what include projects from our Teacher Geek STEM Carts.

We are asking for donations and support from the community to help with supportive programs. Donations can be made below.
