Children are our future. That statement gets used a lot in the world today. But that’s probably because it is so true. Unfortunately, there are a lot of activities out there that aren’t exactly healthy for our youth to be getting involved in. But when there aren’t alternatives, idle time can have negative results. That’s where the Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha comes in with financial support from business like Palmen Automotive Group. The Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha offers programs and activities that have the power to enrich children’s lives. And at the very least, the programs can be used to provide worthwhile activities other than some negative hobbies that children can pick up.
The programs have proven results with youth. In fact, 85% of Boys & Girls Club alumni nationwide say that the club helped teach them right from wrong. With an approximate 15.1 million children in the country going unsupervised on a daily basis, understanding the concept of right from wrong is paramount for a quality community environment.
While backers like Palmen Automotive Group are essential to the success of the Boys & Girls Club, the many programs that are provided also require volunteers. Some areas of need at all times for the club include mentoring, tutoring and coaching. Think you have what it takes to make a difference in the lives of children in the Kenosha community?
