OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE – TO ENABLE ALL YOUNG PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO NEED US MOST, TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AS PRODUCTIVE, CARING, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS.
We have enjoyed great success as an organization, but there is more to be done. We need to prepare the Club for the new generation of learners who may be left behind without access to technology and innovation to spark their interest and feed their passions. As our tourism economy grows so does the demand for workers who need extended hours of after school and summer childcare. We need to be able to serve more children and need to ensure they have access to academic programs and enrichment opportunities that they would otherwise never have.
