Service In The Community

Boys and Girls Country

Boys and Girls Country

“The primary goal of Boys and Girls Country is to provide a home for children from families in crisis and to ensure their care, welfare, safety and security. In addition to furnishing their basic needs, our program works with each child toward two important objectives. First, each child is able to build relationships, acquire responsibilities, and grow and develop within the context of a stable, structured and loving home environment. Second, every child sets and achieves realistic short- and long-term goals with essential behavioral health support and remedial academic tutoring.” – from the Boys and Girls Country website

The Friendship Sunday School class has sponsored a cabin at Boys and Girls Country for years. This group plans monthly birthday parties, special events, forms relationships with the youth who live in the community, and so much more. This is a wonderful organization to give time to and a wonderful group of volunteers to spend time with!
