Youth Development Strategy

 Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of youth by instilling a:

• Sense of competence -the feeling that there is something boys and girls can do well.
• Sense of usefulness -the opportunity to do something of value for other people.
• Sense of belonging -a setting where an individual knows he or she has a place and where he or she “fits” and is accepted.
• Sense of power or influence -a chance to be heard and influence decisions.

When this strategy is fully implemented, the self-esteem of boys and girls is enhanced and an environment is created which helps them achieve their full potential.

Membership: The Clubs are open to any youth ages 6 to 18. The cost is $20 per year.

Hours of Operation during School Year:

During the school year, if the entire OPS school district closes due to a scheduled in-service day, a weather emergency, or a scheduled holiday, the Clubs will open and operate on an 8:00 am to 6:00 pm schedule.

 *On occasion, schedules might be adjusted to accommodate special events or activities for the members of the organization.
