It’s back to school time and the slower pace of summer will be quickly replaced by school project deadlines, sports practices and the general busyness of today’s very active families.
Here at the Boys & Girls Club of Cypress we provide the support that kids and families need to reduce the stress involved with trying to get everything done well and on-time. We provide a daily Power Hour homework assistance program for our members and require all members to participate.
This gives children an opportunity to complete their homework and school projects while at the club, relieving some of the pressures on mom and dad. The consistent encouragement and support helps members stay more motivated more likely to stay on track with their assignments.
The club is open Monday-Friday until 6:30 p.m. and offers a variety of small group activities that teach members about technology, health and nutrition, fitness, and provided character and leadership development opportunities. We maximize students’ time at the club by encouraging skill development as well as offering a wide variety of games and activities.
Registration for the upcoming afterschool program is in progress. No child is ever turned away for inability to pay. For those who can afford to pay, the club charges $135 a month and includes all activities and a daily healthy snack. Transportation from school to the club is available for another $135 a month. Families who are unable to pay these fees are able to apply for scholarships that are funded by donations from community members and local businesses.
The club provides free program and transportation services to children from active military families. If you’d like to help the club raise the $30,000 needed to support this project, please send donations to Boys & Girls Club of Cypress, 10161 Moody Street, Cypress CA 90603 Attention: Military Scholarship Program. Donations can also be made online at www.boysandgirlsclubofcypress.com
