Boys & Girls Mobile Club Coming to a Neighborhood Near You

Making Life-Enriching Programs Accessible to Everyone

PORT ST. LUCIE, FL: The new Boys & Girls Mobile Club is on the move thanks to a collaboration between the City of Port St. Lucie Neighborhood Services and Boys & Girls Club of St. Lucie County. The Boys & Girls Mobile Club will give children in Port St. Lucie access to fun, life-enriching programs, unique experiences, and even tutoring with certified teachers. Free food and snacks will be provided to students who participate.

“Thanks to the amazing support from the City, many more children will be able to experience Boys & Girls Club programs like S.T.E.A.M. activities, brain games, and, of course, fun!” said Will Armstead, CEO, Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Lucie County.

Catch the bus and join the fun this spring, the following Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on:

• April 9 at City Hall, 121 SW Port St. Lucie Blvd.
• April 16, 23, 30 and May 7 at Whispering Pines Park, 800 SW Darwin Blvd.
• May 14, 21 and June 4 at the MIDFLORIDA Event Center, 9221 SE Event Center Place

And then, this summer, Monday – Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on:

• June 07 – 30 and July 1 at McChesney Park, 1585 SW Cashmere Blvd.
• July 5 – 29 at Turtle Run Park, 1945 SW Cameo Blvd.

“Through this partnership, we can impact the children in our community by giving them extra tools to grow into successful adults and learn to enjoy participating in engagement activities outdoors in their neighborhoods. By bringing the Boys and Girls Club to the neighborhoods, we are expanding that service in a creative way, and bringing it to areas where physical Clubs are not currently located. We want to be responsive to the community’s need for more educational activities and engage with our young families and residents.” said Alex Tasca, Deputy Director of Neighborhood Services.

The Boys & Girls Clubs mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The organization’s core beliefs are to provide a safe place to learn and grow. The Boys & Girls Mobile Club allows the organization to do just that.
