Creating Spaces For
Kids & Teens of Today
As the world began to get back to normal, we made a commitment to establish and renovate spaces that would enhance the Club experience for all members. We started with the Teen Room, converting a multi-purpose room into a space that Club Teens could call their own. This was followed by our hiring of a Director of Teen Programs to engage and build teen-specific programming for our middle and high schoolers. We then shifted our focus to rooms that would require some more intense work. With the help from volunteers and donations from our community, the Movement Room was created as a space for kids to do yoga, dance, meditate, and other similar activities. Just a few months later, we partnered with Crayola’s Young Professionals group for a complete renovation of our
Art Room. Dozens of volunteers and several companies and organizations helped make these room transformations possible; a testament to the strength of our community and their commitment to providing children with meaningful and impactful places, programs and experiences.
