The
Club provides diversified activities that meet the interests of all
young people. Core programs encourage activities with adults, peers,
and family members that enable kids to enhance self-esteem and fulfill
their potential. Based on the physical, emotional, cultural, and social
needs and interest of boys and girls, and recognizing developmental
principles, the Club offers diversified program activities in five
equally important areas.
Character and Leadership Development
We empower young people to support and influence their community,
sustain meaningful relationships, develop a positive self-image,
participate in the democratic process, and respect their own and others'
cultural identities.
Education and Career
Development
We enable young people to become proficient in basic educational
disciplines, apply learning to everyday situations, and embrace
technology to optimize employability.
Health and Life Skills
We develop young people's capacity to engage in positive behaviors that
nurture their own well-being, set personal goals, and develop the skills
to live successfully as self-sufficient, contributing skills.
The Arts
We enable young people to develop their creativity and cultural
awareness through knowledge and appreciation of visual and tactile arts
and crafts, performing arts, and creative writing.
Sports, Fitness, and
Recreation
We develop fitness, positive use of leisure time, skills for stress
management, appreciation for the environment, and social and
interpersonal skills.

Almost 100 live items to be auctioned including many trips, dinners, and

two fields with dugouts, bleachers and scoreboards, a multipurpose

irrigation, and off-street parking. A successful auction that raises
$500,000 will assure that we can finish the project in 2007. Call the
