The Boys & Girls Club of Alice is not only a safe place to learn and grow; it is a place where educational programs are at the forefront which truly makes our Clubhouse the "Positive Place for Kids". Homework assistance is offered daily during the Power Hour program. Programs including Project Learn and Smart Moves help to foster drug and alcohol prevention while the use of the technology lab assists student with technology awareness often not available in their homes. A new S.T.E.M.S. RoboTech program is offered to our 5th and 6th grade members. This program will teach them to build and program a working robot which will aid them with their math, and science and introduce engineering into their education.
During the pandemic, the Boys & Girls Club of Alice is proud to say that we never discontinued serving our youth. The club provided Grab-And-Go lunches while also delivering lunches to our members who could not get to the club. Once the Alice ISD started its Virtual Schooling, the Boys & Girls Club of Alice increased our internet amperage so that 60 of our members could come to the club and attend school. Our mentors provided guidance and homework help throughout this time. We are happy to say that our membership is slowly returning to pre-COVID numbers and is back to providing our programs as before.
Since the opening of our new Clubhouse in 2010, more than 180 members have attended the programs daily during school months with an increase to more than 225 members in the summer. More than 2000 youth participate in our sports programs including, Lil Dribblers, soccer, t-ball, coach-pitch, pee wee baseball, girls softball, and girls volleyball.
