It is an honor to be serving as the Interim Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club of New Haven (BGCNH).  I am often asked why I am volunteering in this capacity and the answer is simple: to help children and families in need in the New Haven community.  

With New Haven Public Schools currently only providing online classes, there is a real risk of our society becoming two tiered academically with those who have ready access to the internet, support at home and safe spaces in which to work continuing to make progress while those who lack these things fall farther and farther behind. We can’t let this happen!

This is also why BGCNH was one of the first out of the gate with the Learning Hub at the Club and why this fundraiser during COVID-19, that helps New Haven kids and therefore, indirectly their parents, is so very critical.  To help meet the challenges faced by families due to the pandemic, the Boys & Girls Club of New Haven is offering a full-day, on-site program that combines remote learning from the public schools with enriching after-school fun. 

Staff and volunteer tutors are available throughout the day to help each child set a work plan, access their New Haven Public School virtual learning and provide homework help. And parents can go to work knowing their kids are safe, learning and interacting with their peers.

Since our Club doors are now open all day, our expenses have dramatically increased. Therefore, YOUR SUPPORT is essential. 

Please Donate TODAY so that we can keep this program within reach of New Haven families, regardless of their income. Thanks for your support!
