Sarah Shaver speaks with Bernadette Shanahan, CEO of Boys and Girls Club of Camden (NJ). Shanahan shares the Club’s history and who they serve, plus their mission to provide after school activities for school aged kids to help them become caring, responsible citizens. She describes a “typical” Club day and notes the Club works with the schools to see what the kids need academically. Shanahan says the kids and their families use the word “family” to describe their Club experience and notes how the pandemic enabled them to add a service for both their club families and the larger community.
