Our group, the Starting 5, will be working with the Boys and Girls Club in Lafayette. I wanted to provide a brief overview to their mission and how it fits with ours.
The Boys and Girls Club serves the youth of today by providing a safe and fun place for them to go after school. The B&G Club is more than just a recreational facility though it gives the kids a place to belong and people that care. Their mission is as follows, "To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens."
We felt we could work with the Boys and Girls Club because our missions are similar. We are both working to help the community and especially children. Being a sports themed team we know what it means to play to your full potential just as the B&G Club is helping kids reach their full potential. Productive, caring and responsible are all characteristics that our group strives to exemplify. We hope that by working with the children we can help make the Boys and Girls Club mission become reality.
