Thanks to a generous $3,000 gift from Wellpoint, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monmouth County has created a new Zen Room—a dedicated space designed to support small-group programming and social-emotional skill building for our members.
The funding helped transform the room with new furniture, calming décor, and a variety of sensory materials that allow members to rotate through structured stations. Activities include a sand sensory table, a scratch-art feelings exercise, a quiet reading area, and a calm-down space designed to promote reflection and focus.
The Zen Room provides a consistent, soothing environment where members can practice self-regulation, emotional awareness, and mindfulness. These skills play a critical role in supporting both academic success and healthy relationships, giving young people tools they can carry beyond the Club.
We are deeply grateful to Wellpoint for helping make this space possible and for supporting the well-being and development of our members.
