Why the Boys and Girls Clubs Work- What We Do

As many of you know I am currently the Chief Volunteer Officer/Chairman of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Emerald Coast.  So why would I spend so much of my available time freely supporting of these youth programs?  Simply said, IT WORKS.

Here is a sample of What We Do at your local Boys and Girls Club:
