Boys & Girls Club of Lake County Opens New Club Site on LEARN 6 Campus in North Chicago
Boys & Girls Club of Lake County and LEARN Charter School Network are thrilled to announce the opening of an afterschool program in North Chicago. The Club was awarded a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant by the Illinois State Board of Education to operate Afterschool and Summer Programs, in alignment with the missions of both Boys & Girls Club of Lake County and LEARN 6, to help support learning and promote the success of youth. The Club will offer enriching programs that support Academics, Character & Citizenship Development and Healthy Lifestyles.
The Afterschool Program begins immediately after school and operates until 7 p.m. Monday-Friday. This extended day program provides youth a means of improving and maintaining academic achievement through homework help and regular communications with the school's staff/teachers on student needs. In addition, the club offers great opportunities for fun-filled social, cultural, enrichment and recreational activities. The Club also serves a daily snack and cold supper through our partnership with Northern Illinois Food Bank.
Enrolled youth are expected to regularly attend and participate in the Club to meet program goals. For more information about Boys & Girls Club of Lake County at LEARN 6, please contact Unit Manager, Andrew Worcester, at 847-878-7259.
We look forward to a successful and long partnership with LEARN 6 and all our partner stakeholders.
