Both girls are members of the Glasgow-Barren County Boys and Girls Club, which recently received a state grant to offer programs for at-risk youth between 10 and 18 years of age. Not shown were fellow card sharks Kristen Garmon, 12, and Hope Mansfield, 11.

Boys and Girls Club splits grant

GLASGOW

Money from a state grant given to the Glasgow Boys and Girls Club will be used in efforts to help at-risk youth.

Glasgow is splitting the $150,000 grant with the Bowling Green Boys and Girls Club, according to director Kelly Jenkins, which means the local center gets $75,000.

The money is from a Youth Promise Grant and will provide opportunities for at-risk children between 10- and 18-years old to participate in positive activities after school that will teach them health and life skills needed to resist unsafe situations and behavior.

“This program is designed to instill discipline,” Jenkins said.

The different initiatives the club will undertake include Project Learn, Power Hour, Career Launch, Triple Play, Smart Moves, Torch Clubs and Youth of the Year.

Recreation director T.J. Clapp is overseeing the Triple Play project, which promotes healthy minds, bodies and souls.

Clapp teaches the children about making healthy eating choices and is planning recreational activities like camping, hiking and various team sports.

“Triple Play is all about your recreation activities and nutrition,” she said.

Membership is up to 400 since opening last fall, according to Jenkins.

“We started out with 25,” she said. “This is a huge accomplishment.”

Closed for Fall Break

The Glasgow-Barren County Boys and Girls Club will be closed Oct. 1-5 and will reopen Oct. 8.
