OCEAN CITY – Thanks to the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City, young people have a safe place where they can have fun while learning, meeting friends and contributing to the community. Supported by a grant from the Ocean City Home Charitable Foundation, the Boys & Girls Club is also offering tutoring and enrichment programs for children from five to twelve years old.
“During this time in their lives, children are forming their attitudes toward school and learning. A tutoring and enrichment program offered in the elementary grades can have a tremendous impact on the students throughout their academic careers,” said Jean Jacobson, President of the Ocean City Home Charitable Foundation. “We’re pleased to help the Boys & Girls Club offer a program designed to improve both attendance and academic achievement.”
“The support of local businesses and charitable foundations such as the Ocean City Home Charitable Foundation allow us to serve more kids and have greater impact,” said Dr. Michelle Carrera, Chief Executive Officer of the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City. “Investments such as this one in our children sends clear and strong message that partners believe in the future of our community.”
The grant awarded to the Boys and Girls Club of Atlantic City was one of 20 grants presented to area nonprofit organizations at the Ocean City Home Charitable Foundation’s awards reception in July 2016. The Foundation presented a total of $60,000 in grants at the reception, bringing the organization’s cumulative donation total to more than $1,173,100 since 2005.
