What people say

Thanks for the wonderful swim lessons provided to the second graders by the Boys & Girls Club of Newport. This program has not only equipped our children with essential water safety skills but also given them the confidence to enjoy swimming, a lifelong and valuable activity. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the swim instructors - Josh, Sheryl, Jasmine, and Cheyanne - who worked so diligently and compassionately with the children. Their expertise, patience, and enthusiasm made a lasting impression on both the students and their families. They went above and beyond to ensure every child felt safe and supported throughout the lessons.

Being a parent to a teenage boy is tough, uncharted territory for me, and, honestly, I don't have many good male role models for my son to look up to. It's been challenging to navigate, I just don’t know what to do or say sometimes, but I want to get straight to the point and give a huge shout out to the team at the Teen Center. Thank you so much for the support you've given my son. It truly is helping, and I appreciate all the care, patience, and guidance you've offered him. It means a lot to me and is making a real difference.

We needed after-school care so we could work. We were very excited to find the Boys & Girls Clubs of Newport County and have a safe space for our son.
