Our partnership with 's Great Outdoors University (GoU) helps us provide outdoor adventures to our Club kids who have limited opportunities to explore the natural world. Our youth get to go to local parks for hiking, canoeing, fishing, and other outdoor adventures. These adventures offer a fun way to empower kids with an opportunity to discover and experience the many joys, wonders and benefits of nature.

Our teens have been learning about Career Awareness this summer. Thank you to volunteers Karen Burris and Wanda Graham for their dedication to providing our youth the guidance they need to move toward a successful future!
