A heartfelt thank you to Peter Bowman from Eversource Energy, who recently visited our Club to present a check supporting our community services.

By engaging with our members and staff, he gained valuable insights into their challenges and how our programs assist in overcoming these obstacles.

Join us in celebrating our Employee of the Quarter(April-June), Kendall, our Director of Program Operations 👏 👏 For six years, Kendall has exemplified dedication and leadership, consistently stepping up when it mattered most to lead our middle school and high school programs. His remarkable ability to engage with members, earn their respect, and inspire them to achieve their potential is truly inspiring. Kendall's commitment extends well beyond his formal role—he's a dedicated team player who tirelessly coaches and guides others, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone feels welcome and valued. Whether he's building meaningful relationships with teens, offering a listening ear, or contributing to our Summer Eats program by ensuring that no child goes hungry, Kendall's altruistic spirit and genuine care for others always shine through. His actions demonstrate a profound commitment to making a difference, and his positive influence reverberates throughout our community. “A 'selfless act' is defined as an action demonstrating concern for others with little or no regard for oneself. It stands in contrast to selfishness and aligns with altruism, which entails giving to others without expecting anything in return. Synonyms for selflessness include unselfish, generous, and self-sacrificing. These qualities often describe the mindset, behavior, and character of this particular staff member. He exemplifies teamwork, consistently offering support and guidance when needed. Over the summer, he assumed multiple roles, from van driver to meal preparer, and from supervisor to mentor for many first-time workers. With a lean team for our Summer Eats Program, his contributions were crucial to our success. “ - Jason Smith, Assistant Executive Director Here's to you, Kendall, for your unwavering dedication, exceptional leadership, and the positive impact you've made in the lives of so many. Your efforts and passion do not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful to have you as part of our community. Thank you for all that you do! 💙 👏

Join us in making a difference in the lives of our members as they head back to school this year! According to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the average cost of school supplies is $529 per child, putting a burden on many local families.

WBGC wants to ensure that the 150 youth and teens involved in our summer programming have the necessary tools to succeed this upcoming academic year.
