June 2025 Face of Great Futures

Jonah is going into 4th grade at Rosenow Elementary and attends our summer Club site at Pier Elementary. This is his third summer attending the Boys & Girls Club. Jonah has been selected as the Face of Great Futures because “he loves to participate in all of our sports activities and is a great friend to his peers,” stated Miss Kari, extension director. “He is a true leader!” Let’s get to know Jonah!

Why do you think kids come to the Boys & Girls Club? To have friends and make new friends.
