After the tour, Thompson said, “I have an even stronger appreciation for how incredibly fortunate our community is to have such a wonderful place for our teens to feel safe and supported.”

The 3,000 sq. ft. facility has lounge area for teens to study and come together for events and activities, college and career counselor offices, and a computer lab. Thompson said he was especially impressed by the tremendous effort made by staff at to help high school students apply to, and attend, college. “Many thanks to everyone with The Club for all they do to ensure that every kid in our Valley has a fair shot at a bright future.”

The Club has seen significant growth since opening in 2015, nearly doubling its original enrollment. “In the last year, our Future Focus program has helped over 143 students successfully graduate from high school and develop a plan for post-secondary education,” said CEO Robert Hughes.
