Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia

On June 22nd nearly 80 teens from across Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia gathered for leadership event at the Ralph J Roberts Germantown Club. Teens took part in specialized seminars including sessions focused on E-Commerce, Podcasting, Culinary Arts, Veterinary Medicine, Sports Medicine, and First Aid and CPR. We welcomed the 1974 national youth of the Year, George Clark to share words of inspiration, and a representative from Old Navy was on-hand to share information about career opportunities. This event gave our teens a chance to elevate their voices and develop their passions. We’d like to thank all the partners who came out to support the event and the staff who worked behind the scenes to make the day a success!

Members of the Bridesburg Gardening Club were hard at work last week, planting a variety of delicious crops including tomatoes, carrots, romaine lettuce, peppers, thyme, basil, mint, and more! They're eagerly anticipating the bountiful harvest ahead and the fruits of their labor.

So far, our Club kids have had a day filled with smiles, rides, and meeting Disney characters! Thank you to our generous supporters who made our trip of a lifetime possible!

On April 8, 2024, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia joined the rest of the city in watching history soar by. However, they were joined by some unusual visitors: goats!
