North Penn Valley Boys and Girls Club I

Project learn is our free, formalized homework assistance program offered to 246 low-income students each day after school from september through june. The program is administered in classrooms at our (3) main clubhouses in lansdale, souderton, and ambler. Three school districts- North Penn, souderton, and wissahickon-partner with us on project learn. The districts identify, select, and transport students to us daily as well as share critical information to help us assist each student that includes report card grades and reading benchmark scores. Project learn has been awarded the Pennsylvania statewide youth development award. All students will be low-income and received free or reduced-cost lunch.

Our organization offers additional program activities to the children we serve annually. These programs are typically small-group instruction in five core areas: education & career development, character & leadership development, health & life skills, the arts, and fitness/sports and recreation. These programs are critically important to the children and teens we serve, and allow them to explore their interests in diverse activities. Whether they learn cooking, photography, or interview skills, we offer important opportunities for our Club members.

Summer day camp is an 8-week summer program that offers an affordable option for families, and a safe as well as supervised option for children ages 6-12 years during the summer months. In 2023 we provided 36 scholarships for children from low-income households. Our summer camp strategically engages children in discovering new interests and expressing their creativity. Camp provides both a fun summer and continued learning, so that campers return to school ready for academic challenges. Theme weeks, trips, and contests are held throughout the summer to keep our children excited to attend camp each day.
