While the world may have changed, our mission remains the same. Our “Back to School” Roadmap will outline how Boys & Girls Club is working with our available resources to make a difference in Harford and Cecil Counties.
The Edgewood, Aberdeen, Bel Air*, and Havre de Grace* Boys & Girls Clubs will open Monday through Friday from 3-7pm. These locations will focus on after school tutoring and activities for members 6-12 years old. All COVID safety procedures are still in place and the clubs will maintain a 1:12 ratio and 6-foot social distancing.
The Clubs mentioned above will also open their doors for teen programming; including Passport to Manhood, SMART Girls, Keystone, games, and athletics. Our goal is to provide a safe place where teens can be themselves and also help educate and motivate Club teens to be catalysts for social justice. Again, all COVID safety protocols are still in place so space will be limited.
*Bel Air and Havre de Grace Boys & Girls Clubs will transition to after-school programming on October 19, 2020.
In both Harford and Cecil County, we will launch our newest initiative “Club on the Go”. Club on the Go is the BGC version of the neighborhood ice cream truck. We will bring our buses and vans into the communities we serve between 3-6pm to provide our kids with meals, on-demand programming, and Club bags filled with fun for our children. Details about when we will be in your neighborhood will be shared with you from each of our Club directors. There is no cost to participate.
In collaboration with HCPS, Boys & Girls Clubs will offer licensed before and after child care in several school locations. Before and after care is designed to complement and provide wrap-around services for the Learning Support Centers that will be operated by the school system during the school day. Our programs will run from 7-9am and 3-6pm Monday through Friday. Families with an approved Maryland State Scholarship may apply the scholarship to help defray the cost of in-school care. If you have not applied for the scholarship, CLICK HERE to see if you qualify. Questions? Contact Rachel Boucher, Director of School-Based Programs at rboucher@bgcharfordcecil.org.
*Pricing: Before-care only $60/per week | After-care only $70/per week | Both before-care & after-care $130/per week | NEW DAILY RATE $30/day
Our new normal includes Virtual Programming, both synchronous and asynchronous. This will allow us to safely engage with as many Club kids that wish to join this programming. We will have sessions that are synchronous (live, real time zoom programming and content) and sessions that are asynchronous (pre-recorded, self-paced virtual content). Programming will include demonstrations, activities, contests, mentoring and more.
