,s <br />BOYS & GIRLS CIUBS <br />OF THE COLUMBIA BASIN <br />Are there fees associated with the Boys and Girls Club of Kittitas County? <br />Yes, but they are very minimal. There is a S25 dollar registration fee per year per family and 515 dollars <br />a month whether the child uses the club once or all month long. The goal is not to exclude any child that <br />would like to attend the Club after school program. Scholarships will be available. <br />Will the Boys and Girls Club be available during school breaks? <br />Yes. The Club will be open during most breaks except for weekends and holidays. <br />What age group will the Kittitas Club serve? <br />We will serve students ages 6 to 12 years of age. <br />What type of programming will you offer for kids and teens? <br />Boys & Girls Clubs of America offers a host of tested, proven and nationally recognized programs in core <br />program areas that closely align with the developmental needs of all young people: <br />. Career Development <br />. Character & Leadership <br />. Sports & Recreation <br />. The Arts <br />. Health and Wellness <br />. Education <br />As community-based, autonomous organizations, most Clubs offer a mix of national and locally <br />developed programs that best fit the needs of their Club members. <br />What are the benefits to being a Boys and Girls Club member? <br />Clubs provide a host of benefits to their members. While each Club's programming offerings vary based <br />on comrnunity needs and interests, all Clubs provide youth with a safe, constructive environment where <br />they can learn and grow under the guidance of trained youth development professionals. Clubs <br />encourage members to strive for academic success, lead healthy lifestyles, and exhibit good character <br />and citizenship. <br />Will the Boys and Girls Club compete against the YMCA? <br />No, the club will use school-based sites to begin with and look to building an off-site club in the future. <br />The Boys and Girls Club focuses on school aged students, not the entre family as the YMCA. We see this <br />as an 'and' not 'or'for both organizations. <br />Contact information: <br />Name: Ann Leichleiter <br />Phone: 425-531-1565 <br />Email : an n_leichleiter@ ksd403.org
