Health & Well-being
Through targeted programs and activities, we encourage all youth to engage in positive behaviors to nurture their personal well-being, set goals, and grow into healthy adults.
Programs to keep kids healthy
At Boys & Girls Clubs of Benton and Franklin Counties, kids and teens participate in a wide range of activities designed to help them stay physically active, learn about healthy eating, and understand their emotions and feelings.
Intramural sports, cooking clubs, mental health programs, and more help youth across our organization develop healthy habits.
