Kristy Amy from the Future Plans team pictured here with John Gazzale from Marietta (Boys & Girls Clubs of Washington County) joined hundreds of leaders from the national organization, Boys & Girls Clubs. Club leaders and board members representing 14 states from the Midwest gathered in Chicago for “Operation Impact – The Power of Scale.”
Both the GRIT Project and the Boys and Girls Clubs have prioritized workforce initiatives as a key component of impacting our communities. We also align on our commitment to positively impact the mental well-being of our young people to champion opportunities for all young people.
Our community needs us more now than ever before. Chris Abele, Chair of the Boys & Girls Clubs Board of Governors said it best when he said, “The things that you are the proudest of in life are the things that were the hardest…the things that some people said couldn’t be done.”
Join the GRIT effort to help our communities one person at a time!
