“During 2020, the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Utah, day in and day out, delivered quality experience to youth in Box Elder County, at our Club Houses in Brigham City and Tremonton that made a difference in youth’s life beyond their time at the Club,” said Jenny Schulze CEO of Boys and Girls Club of Northern Utah. “The Club was not able to serve young people in Cache Valley, because school site programs were halted due to the pandemic.”
The Boys & Girls Club of Northern Utah is working hard to obtain a Club House in Cache Valley where students can find a positive environment to learn, play and grow, during the out-of-school hours while parents work.
“We are eager to get back to running our school site programs in Cache Valley,” she said.” And we want to make sure we never have to close our doors again in Cache Valley.”
The Boys & Girls Club of Northern Utah serves approximately 1,300 school age youth annually at the Club Houses in Box Elder County and limited school-based programs in Cache County.
“Some people from Cache Valley drive their children to Brigham City to our club house there because we have no facility there,” Schulze said. “If we could find a place in the Logan area it could be an asset to the students there.”
