Mentor for a DayOngoing (Program Flyer)This year the Union League Boys & Girls Clubs is taking an initiative to educate our youth on career options available to them. We feel if together we educate our youth on the career options they have, they will be able to set logical and attainable goals in their future and be one step closer to becoming caring, responsible and productive adult citizens. We are looking to incorporate opportunities for our youth to take short educational career-focused fieldtrips to various organizations.
