Jade Monfils at the Boys & Girls Club Alumni Mixer

The Boys & Girls Club of Dallas has gotten a program together that unites former B&G Club members. It is really nice to see how successful many of their alumni have turned out and to see what an impact the organization has had on their lives. After talking with several of them, their stories were very similar. Many of them said that before the B&G Club they had no motivation and didn't have goals to work toward. The club helped them set goals and motivated them to get off the streets. I got to meet the 2001 "Youth of the Year", her story was great because after being in the club, she now works as a social worker and helps to give back to the community that gave to her. I had a great time meeting all the different people who all share a common bond!
