Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford

It only takes a few minutes to save a life. On September 9th, we are hosting an American Red Cross Connecticut Chapter Blood Drive. By rolling up your sleeve to donate, not only will you get a free limited edition t-shirt, but you'll also make a difference in our community, especially for those living with Sickle Cell Disease. We hope you'll join us to save lives! Register at redcrossblood.org and use the sponsor keyword BGCH

#FridaySuccessStory: What does it take to keep our water healthy for all living creatures? Our members headed to Hammonassett beach last week to find out! They joined the Mystic Aquarium water study to learn about our world of water. This is just one of the many experiences available for just $10 a year at Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford! #wearehandsonlearning #wearebgchartford #STEAM #greatfuturesstarthere

Part of being #workforceready is learning how to be part of a team. We're so glad New England Asset Management, Inc. (NEAM, Inc.) invited us to be part of their team building workshop at the Renbrook School ropes course! They learned to trust themselves and their peers in order to strengthen their teams. Thank you for having us!

If you missed our performance of The Little Mermaid there's no need to feel like a poor unfortunate soul -- we've got the show right here for you! Our members were shrimp-ly amazing and we love to shell-abrate their success! O-fish-ally over these puns? We'll sea ourselves out and you can enjoy the show! https://lnkd.in/esZitjM3

They may have dealt with gray skies and even dodged a few rain drops, but our tweens and teens still had an amazing time learning to kayak with L.L.Bean! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your outdoor discovery program!

We're proud to be a part of Michael Simmons' legacy. Join us on September 7! https://lnkd.in/eGz4YzG3

We are so grateful for the partners who enrich our Club activities and offer new experiences to our members! Thank you to SLR Consulting for having our teens out to job shadow and to Turner Construction Company for hosting a career talk! We were so happy to have Barton & Loguidice back to learn more about recycling. Our members had a great time doing art projects and playing games with Tag and Apex Systems! We couldn't do it without your support! #greatfuturesstarthere #weareworkforcereadiness #weareboysandgirlsclubsofhartford #partners #community #thankyou
