The Boys & Girls Club of the Plateau is proud to announce the opening of its newest location in Highlands, NC. To mark this important occasion, the Highlands Chamber of Commerce will host a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, May 21, at 5pm. The event is open to the public and will be held at 171 Hospital Drive, Highlands.
The Boys & Girls Club of the Plateau’s mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need the organization the most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. They offer afterschool and summer camp programs to the youth of Jackson and Macon County and provide a safe and welcoming environment for the youth of our community.
Carmen Waite, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of the Plateau, emphasizes the importance of this expansion: “We recognize that Highlands has a shortage of out-of-school care and we are excited to support the youth and hard-working families of the Highlands area.”
Kaye McHan, Executive Director of Highlands Chamber of Commerce/Visit Highlands, NC, adds, “The Boys & Girls Club of the Plateau plays a vital role in supporting families by providing engaging programming for children. We are so pleased to have them expand their services to Highlands.”
The new Boys & Girls Club Highlands location will be open Monday through Friday, offering summer camp from 7:30am to 6pm and after-school programs from 3pm to 7:30pm. For more information, visit www.bgcplateau.org.
