The Jesse P. Sanford Boys & Girls Club of Redding, CT will be welcoming new and returning members to a new and exciting after-school enrichment program. The program will be held 3 times a week at both the Redding Community Center (RCC) as well as the Redding Elementary School (RES).
Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) has a lineup of nationally tested and proven programs that address today's most pressing youth issues, teaching young people the skills they need to succeed in life.
As part of the Boys & Girls Club of Redding Enrichment Program, your child will have the opportunity to engage in programs in the BGCA’s 5 Core Program Areas: Character & Leadership, Education & Career Development, Health & Life Skills, The Arts, and Sports, Fitness, and Recreation.
Some examples of our nationally recognized programs are:
PowerHour: Making Minutes Count: a comprehensive homework help and tutoring program, POWER HOUR is designed to raise the academic proficiency of Club members ages 6 to12
Project Learn:
Project Learn reinforces and enhances the skills and knowledge young people learn at school through "high-yield" learning activities at the Club and in the home. Based on Dr. Reginald Clark's research that shows fun, but academically beneficial activities increase academic performance, these activities include leisure reading, writing activities, homework help and games like Scrabble® which develop youth's cognitive skills. Project Learn emphasizes collaborations between Club staff, parents and school personnel. Formally evaluated by Columbia University, Project Learn has been proven to boost the academic performance of Club members.
Triple Play: A Game Plan for the Mind, Body and Soul
Triple Play, sponsored by The Coca-Cola Company, is a dynamic wellness program currently being offered in Boys & Girls Clubs that demonstrates how eating right, keeping fit and forming positive relationships add up to a healthy lifestyle. The goal of the Triple Play program is to improve Club members’ knowledge of healthy habits; increase the number of hours per day they participate in physical activities; and strengthen their ability to interact positively with others and engage in positive relationships.
Program components include:
• Healthy Habits Nutrition Curriculum
• Daily Challenges
• Sports Clubs
• Triple Play Games
• Social Recreation
These are just a few examples of what the Boys & Girls Club of Redding’s new enrichment program will offer. We will also be offering digital arts workshops, family game and movie nights, and a Boys & Girls Club of Redding newsletter run entirely by members to keep the Boys & Girls Club community aware of what we are doing here at the RBGC.

Redding, Connecticut, March 9th 2009 – Stephen Fitzgerald is a true example of an extraordinary young man. At age 17, he has just been selected as the Youth of the Year for the Jesse P. Sanford Boys & Girls Club of Redding. Fitzgerald is among hundreds of local Youth of the Year winners across the country recognized by Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) for his sound character, leadership skills and willingness to give back to the community.
Stephen Fitzgerald is a junior at JBHS and has been a member of RBGC for 6 years. He has played baseball, supervised basketball, and is currently Vice President of our very active RBGC Keystone Club, which is a teen leadership and community service group. Outside of RBGC, Stephen is active in his church youth group and is a leader in school, founding a club called Reconstruction in Progress (RIP) to enhance student-teacher relationships.
Being named Youth of the Year is the highest honor a Boys & Girls Club member can receive. The title recognizes outstanding contributions to a member’s family, school, community and Boys & Girls Club, as well as personal challenges and obstacles overcome. This program was founded over 60 years ago through the generosity of the Reader’s Digest Foundation.
