The Rotary Club of Highlands was honored today to host as our guest speaker for this week Carmen Waite, CEO of The Boys and Girls Club of the Plateau.
Their mission is “To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.”
The Boys and Girls Club aims to accomplish this by giving young people, through several different ways, a place to go to study and learn, and get knowledge of life skills in a safe and structured environment. The kids involved have someplace to go after school rather than to a home where parents are at work, and the children would be spending unsupervised time.
The Boys and Girls Club leadership is hoping to open a location in the Jane Woodruff Building on the campus of the Highlands Cashiers Hospital in January that can serve 60 to 80 children of the Highlands community.
