“We work with the Boys & Girls Club because it gives the college students an opportunity to develop the teaching skills that are necessary for nurses when it comes to teaching health promotion. We use the Boys & Girls Club as a clinical site for the pediatric clinic. I am familiar with the Club because my daughter has attended before. It was the natural choice,” said Tara Weber, State Fair Community College Allied Health and Physical Education Department Nursing Instructor.

Answering President Obama's Nationwide Call

In June, President Obama sent out a nationwide call to service, United We Serve, challenging every American to "volunteer this summer and be part of building a new foundation for America." To be a part of United We Serve and volunteer to be a mentor for the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri, call the Club today at 660-826-8331.

"After all," according to President Obama, "America's new foundation will be built one neighborhood at a time."

At the Club, we're doing our part, one child at a time.
