We are so excited to announce that our newest Clubhouse has opened in Long Branch! In early May, the Club began offering our after-school programs to children ages 5 to 13 at the Bucky James Community Center on Wilbur Ave.
The Club’s senior leadership has been part of an Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (EDIB) working group hosted by the Grunin Foundation since fall of 2021, The culmination of this work was the creation of “Teens Take the Lead,” a fully-funded, three-year, collaborative youth empowerment program.
Tylik has been a member of our Asbury Park Unit since he was 5 years old. Last year, he enrolled in our teen employment and empowerment program, Project L.E.A.D., and transitioned from Club member to staff member. This spring, he was awarded the title of “Youth of the Year,” the Club’s premier leadership and recognition program for teens. The following is an excerpt from the essay he submitted as part of that competition.
Fair Haven resident Nancy Karpf not only understands the power behind giving back to one’s community, but also recognizes the value of supporting underfunded neighborhoods.
Since its construction in the 1950s the heart of the Asbury Park Club has been our gymnasium. After all these years of thorough and continuous use, the gym has seen some upgrades thanks to the support of some very generous donors.
Our Youth Development Professionals know that at the beginning of every new program, it's best to work together to determine our group agreements so that everyone feels safe and comfortable!
As we do in all of our programs, our Club staff is always fostering creativity in our young people, giving them to freedom to discover and explore their interests.
