The Boys & Girls Club of Montgomery County recently received a $4,000 grant from Duke Energy to support the Club’s After School Program.
“We are thrilled Duke Energy is supporting our After School Program,” said Craig Reeves, executive director of the club. “The children who participate in our program will benefit greatly from Duke’s generosity. We can’t thank Duke enough for their support.” The money will specifically go to the Clubs Indiana Kids. The program provides educational enrichment through math, reading, volunteerism, homework sessions and career sessions. This program helps youth progress to the next grade level on time which is especially important due to struggles because of e-learning.
The local club served more than 1,800 children in 2020 during the pandemic and is on track to serve more than 3,000 children this year. The club has received national recognition for its National Youth Outcomes Initiative Survey results as the local club exceeded the results of all the clubs nationwide.
