Success Story
J
onny joined the Boys & Girls Club four years
ago. He was an angry child; he would act out by
yelling, screaming and inflicting self-harm. His home
structure was not strong nor did he have good
relationships with his peers. One thing Jonny shared
with us is that he had “staff that cared and listened”
Throughout his time at the Club he has grown,
matured and developed coping skills to handle his
anger issues. Jonny went from a boy with no friends
and a family who didn’t care to a young man with a
Boys & Girls Club family to support him.
Jonny has improved his communication skills,
increased in his academics, and improved his
character to the point of being recognized for the
Youth of the Month. The skills and programs that are
offered at the Boys & Girls Club of the Capital Area
allowed Jonny to get involved in new opportunities,
build friendships and develop into a grateful, caring
and humorous young man.

903 YOUTH SERVED
The Boys & Girls Club grew by 50� overnight
moving our average daily attendance to 180
youth in our building at one time. If that isn’t
impressive enough, we had several days exceed the
average daily attendance and had an all-time high of 207
youth in one day!
156
The Boys & Girls Club focuses on three priority outcomes: Academic
Success, Good Character and Citizenship and Healthy Lifestyles. We’ve
added new National curriculum to offer our Club youth more
opportunities to learn and grow. One of the youth’s favorite is the
STEM programing which allows the youth to explore Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics while relating these topics to
real life situations.
Our Torch Club became chartered for the first time, meaning our youth volunteers received pins,
membership cards and a program guide. It allows our youth to participate in various challenges and award
competitions. The Club is very proud of the Torch Club youth as they have put in countless hours
volunteering their time at the Club and special events, senior living centers, the food pantry, city parks and
the list continues.
Two other BIG firsts that occurred at the Club this year
were meeting our Million Dollar Match Endowment and
having Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s President and
CEO visit us!
Thank you for your investment in the youth,
the Club and in Pierre! Stop in, come on by
or give us a call anytime- we would love to
show you what your gift is doing each day.
