The Boys and Girls Club and the Athens-Clarke County School District were given something to smile about Thursday when the Athens-Clarke County Mayor and Commission approved the placement of the Youth Facility Partnership on the April 6 consent agenda.
“I’m very proud that Athens-Clarke County is contributing to this project,” said Alice Kinman, district four commissioner.
The Youth Facility Partnership is an agreement between the School District, the Unified Government, the Boys and Girls Club and the Housing Authority that allows for the renovation and instatement of after school programs at the H.T. Edwards Gymnasium.
The programs will be put on by the Boys and Girls Club and will include both an after school program and a nine week summer day camp for youth ages six to 13. The after school program will go from 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday during the school year, and the summer day camp will run from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. during the months of June through August.
“I am very excited it is going to happen,” Kinman said about the partnership.
