| The Boys & Girls Clubs of America, originally known as the Boys Club, began in 1892. Clubs were exclusively for boys until the mid 1980s. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Clermont County were established in 1996 in New Richmond, Ohio. Since that time Club membership has expanded to serve youth from other Clermont County communities. In New Richmond, the Club serves 324 members, plus an additional 2500 children each year, with an average daily attendance of 40. The Club is open 20 hours per week, from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. after school. For the summer, the Club provides service from 12 P.M. to 5 P.M., Monday through Friday. During the summer, the Club provides a daily hot lunch for every young person who attends. On October 1st, 2011 our first stand alone facility which is also located in New Richmond, "The Club" Teen Center was dedicated and is open to all Clermont County teens ages 13-18. At The Club, teens will have the opportunity to engage in various activities and programs, in a fun atmosphere, guided by a caring professional staff. The Felicity Cardinal Club was opened in September of 2008. This Club served a total of 263 Club members in 2009, with 141 other youth served in outreach programs. The Felicity Cardinal Club is located in the Felicity- Franklin School building, where young people can easily access it after school. Club hours are 2:30 – 6:30 p.m. during the school year, and noon to 5:00 p.m. for the summer. A daily hot lunch is served by the Felicity Franklin Schools to all kids coming to the Club during the summer months. |
