In every community, an increasing number of youth are at home with no adult supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them. The four Boys & Girls Clubs in Lubbock and Shallowater offer that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of youth by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.
