Boys and Girls Club Opens To New Location in DuBois County
The Boys and Girls Club of Dubois County, led by Advisory Council Chairperson Emily Klein, is set to provide a vital after-school program for children in the area, beginning on October 26. The organization, which partners with the established Boys and Girls Club in Lawrence County, aims to close the gap in youth services in southern Indiana.
Operating out of Trinity Church in Jasper, the club will offer a welcoming space for kindergarten through sixth-grade students. The program runs Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., with transportation provided by Greater Jasper Schools from local elementary and middle schools.
The Boys and Girls Club focuses on academic support, social-emotional learning, healthy lifestyles, and a wide range of activities, including arts and crafts, games, and STEM projects. It aims to cater to all children, particularly those facing challenges at home or in their studies.
Parents interested in enrolling their children can do so through the website vgcduboysco.org or by accessing paper forms available at local schools. The cost to register is a minimal $20, ensuring affordability for families in the community.
Community support has been overwhelming, with many local businesses and individuals inquiring about volunteer opportunities and donations. An open house is scheduled for October 13 at Trinity Church, allowing families to explore the new facility and learn more about the programming.
Klein expressed her excitement for the club's potential, emphasizing the organization's mission to provide a safe and enriching environment for children in Dubois County. She looks forward to expanding services and ensuring that every child has access to the resources and support they need to thrive.
