What Our Staff Say About Working at Boys & Girls Club of Grand Rapids
“I love working at the Boys & Girls Club because it gives me the opportunity to serve youth and give back to the community I grew up in. The best part of my job is seeing a child’s face light up when they learn a new skill or master something they have been working hard to achieve. It brings me great joy to know that I am making a positive difference in the lives of these kids and in the community that means so much to me.”
