It is June and that means the end of another school year. May was filled with milestones, celebrations, and community impact—from Family Dinner and our Littles Graduation to honoring outstanding members at the Be Great Awards. Thanks to dedicated partners, supporters, and staff, we're creating life-changing opportunities for local youth and helping make more possible every day.

May was all about impact, connection, and community. From celebrating our Teen Innovation Center Grand Opening to cheering on a successful flag football season, our Club Kids continue to thrive. Through our partnership with Feeding America, we’re tackling food insecurity—serving 1.7 million meals and snacks in 2025 alone—while supporting families with consistent, nutritious resources. As we head into summer, join us for exciting opportunities like Summer Camp, Family Dinner, and our Virtual Poker Tournament. Together, you make it all possible.

Catch up on the latest from our Club—hear a message from Teresa, celebrate Curtis and our Teen Center, and get to know Board Chair Dr. Lauren Wiley. Plus, take a look at Spring Break highlights, see how Family Dinners are making an impact, and don’t miss what’s coming up next.

This month, we’re highlighting the impact of our afterschool programs and the people behind them. Hear from our COO, Montrice Shabete, about how these programs support youth beyond the school day. We’re also featuring Beattie Middle School Site Lead Anneliese Wyman, a dedicated staff member helping guide middle schoolers through a key stage of growth.

You’ll also read about staff advocating in Washington, D.C. for youth program funding, meet one of our inspiring teen volunteers, catch this month’s Mission Moment, and see what events are coming up at the Club.

We’re gearing up for one of our most exciting and impactful annual events—Back 2 School! This special program helps local kids head into the school year with confidence by providing them with brand-new clothes, shoes, and essentials for success.

No child should go hungry during the summer months—and thanks to a partnership with Redlands Unified School District Child Nutrition Services, free meals will be available to all children and teens 18 and under at the Hansberger Clubhouse of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Redlands-Riverside, on Clay Street!

Summer camp isn’t just about fun—it’s about growth. Campers gain confidence, build friendships, and stay active and learning when school is out. Your support directly impacts their futures, helping prevent summer learning loss and keeping kids on track academically and emotionally.

Let’s make this summer the best one yet for our Club members. Donate to the Bee Hive Summer Camp Fundraiser today and help us keep the buzz going all season long!
