"The Boys and Girls Club means so much and I cannot actually put it in words," said Kiana Knolland, "It's my second family--it's my first family. When I feel like I have no one on my side I can always count on the Boys and Girls Club to be there for me, to be my support and my strength and my inspiration."

The Boys and Girls Club supports community programs for youth including sports, homework clinics, and after-school programs.
