  • Why mentoring matters
    Why mentoring matters

    January 2022

    Karina, a 7th grade Club member at our Raley Teen Center, confided in a staff member that she was having difficulties with a friend at school. She was upset about her friend’s actions and didn’t know what to do about the situation. Her Club mentor encouraged her to think about the lessons they were discussing during the Be A Star program, a social-emotional-based approach to address bullying, and helped her identify strategies for how to express her feelings. Karina worked up the confidence to talk with her friend about her behavior and told her how it made her feel. In the end, the two girls parted ways as friends, but Karina said that she would rather have friendships that were positive in her life. Club mentors are here to help youth build the skills necessary to navigate the complexities of their lives.

  • Celebrating greatness through art
    Celebrating greatness through art

    January 2022

    Thursday afternoons at our Teichert Branch are a time to get creative during art class with Ms. Marisol. Club youth explore various art mediums and projects that tie into larger themes they are learning about during the month like our heroes, culturally significant holidays, and all the ways diversity makes us great. In January, Club kids painted portraits of Martin Luther King Jr. and put their unique touch on what his profound words mean to them. Kids also made their own dragons as a way to learn about and celebrate the Chinese New Year.

  • More than a video game tournament
    More than a video game tournament

    September 2021

    Samantha, a 6th grader at our North Laguna Branch, is a very competitive kid. She loves playing video games, especially in the Smash Bros Friday tournaments at the Club. Samantha is easily the best player and definitely enjoys winning. But she makes sure that she wins graciously and does everything she can to make sure that the other Club members feel good about their own skills. Samantha also helps the younger kids with the game and she tries to help her peers get better by teaching them the special tips and tricks she knows. And if she does lose a game, she congratulates her opponent and cheers on the other kids still left in the tournament. These small moments of caring and leadership add up to great impact for Samantha and her friends at the Club.

    August 2021

    Just in time for the new school year, the floors at our Teichert Branch got a much-needed update. A team of 14 Lowe's associates, managers, and professional installers from 7 different stores swooped in and got to work replacing worn-out carpet with brand new carpet and luxury vinyl in our games room, classrooms, library, and computer lab - over 6,000 square feet! "It's just amazing! I can't wait to have our Club kids come back to a brand-new looking Clubhouse," exclaimed CEO Kimberly Key. "Everyone from Lowe's has been great to work with. The transformation of our space is stunning. We are so incredibly grateful!"

This event is not only an important part of setting kids up for a successful school year, this year's event was the culminating project of our Bank of America Student Leader interns.

    Summer is all about making new friends, playing, and having fun. And at the Boys & Girls Club, that's exactly what we do! This year, Club staff supported summer school at two elementary school campuses in Sacramento, providing kids the opportunity to learn while having fun with STEM projects, art, and outdoor games. We had a blast! One parent commented, "the best part was the excitement of my daughter. She comes home with a new story to tell me about summer camp every day. Thank you!"
