In partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Boys & Girls Clubs of Bandera County will introduce Boys & Girls Clubs of Uvalde as a new addition to its organization, expanding its total club sites from three to four clubs early next year.
Working closely with the city of Uvalde, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Boys & Girls Clubs of Bandera are partnering to identify and renovate a permanent space for the club, maximizing support for Uvalde’s young people during a critical time.
“It’s so important for all kids to have access to safe places, caring mentors and life-enhancing opportunities that allow them to reach their full potential in life,” says Amy Ouellette, Executive Director, Boys & Girls Clubs of Bandera County. “We are thrilled to support this effort to further engage and support our neighbors in Uvalde, providing much-needed resources and services to kids and families in the Uvalde community during such an important time.”
A community picnic was hosted on Nov. 30 in partnership with Buffalo Wild Wings and Starbucks. Community members, neighbors, parents, youth, Boys & Girls Clubs from across Texas and even some Major League Baseball Stars were in attendance. It was a great way to introduce the club the community and continue to build trust.
As one of four club locations within its organization, Boys & Girls Clubs of Bandera will oversee the opening of Boys & Girls Clubs of Uvalde as the project reaches its final stages in 2023. To learn more, visit www.bgcbanderacounty.com.
