Boys & Girls Club of SLC Offering Extended Hours

February 28, 2013
Beginning Monday, March 4th, the Boys & Girls Club of St. Lucie County will be extending their hours until 8:00 p.m. in all of their Clubhouses throughout the county.
 
Boys & Girls Clubs provide a safe place to learn and grow, as well as life enhancing programs and character developing experiences.  The Club offers a myriad of programs in five core areas including character and leadership development, health and life skills, education and career development, the arts, and sports, fitness, and recreation.
 
Too many children and teens in St. Lucie County are not receiving the guidance they need to graduate from high school, to avoid the effects of violence, gangs and drugs, or to become responsible adults.  At the Boys & Girls Club, we believe every child has the potential to be great.  We provide a variety of nationally recognized programs and services designed to enhance boys and girls development by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging, and influence.
 
The Boys & Girls Club costs as low as $10 per year, depending on services needed, and are located at the following locations:
  • Garden Terrace Clubhouse, 3100 Avenue G, Fort Pierce, FL 34947 – Ages 6 - 12
  • Infinity Teen Center, 1011 N. 23rd Street, Fort Pierce, FL 34947 – Ages 10 – 18
