Welcome to post #60 of Club at Home! Every day, we share content that brings Club programs, traditions, and staff into the homes of members. Our goal is to provide the same fun and educational activities to our Club members and families, even while Clubs are physically closed.
Today, we check in with staff from our Clubs who share different activities for members across all age groups, including STEM Tuesday, bubble printmaking, Fly Swatter Hockey, and more.
Also, we’d like to showcase one of our Yawkey Club of Roxbury members (pictured to the right) who attended a rally in Chelsea.
He loves participating in boys’ group with Social Rec Manager Junior and made his Black Lives Matter sign in a Zoom session with Art Director Natalie. We’re proud of him for using his voice to stand up to injustice!
