As the Chief Executive Officer of Boys & Girls Clubs - Alaska, I’d like to extend a hearty congratulations to our newly elected leaders in Congress and the Legislature, as well as local leaders. We look forward to working alongside each of them to keep our communities prosperous and thriving for all Americans.
I urge them to look to community nonprofits like Boys & Girls Clubs as vital resources as they navigate the best way to serve our country and its future. We see firsthand the issues and challenges facing our youth and the need to prioritize addressing those barriers in order to ensure all youth can achieve success in school, career and life. Invest in our community by investing in our kids. The future is theirs.
