Boys & Girls Club of Wooster

One of our Club members came to us this year as a child in need. He and mom had been homeless over the summer, as they were escaping an abusive relationship with mom’s boyfriend and the father of several of her other children. He initially did not like coming to Boys & Girls Club, and did not trust the staff members. He was also failing multiple classes. Over the course of the fall semester, Club staff worked weekly with him and mom to increase his confidence, and to get him back on track academically. He ended the semester with all A’s and B’s, and now enjoys his time at Club.
