Construction of a new Teen Study Room at the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley remains underway.

While most people were watching the football championships Sunday we continued on with the construction of a new Teen Study Room at the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley. Framing and footings were built in anticipation of a future cement pour. Three amazing men from Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters Local #150 were hard at work. Jose Cobian, David Urrea and Joe Duran were the three who donated their time on Sunday. This is an amazing project that will benefit the local teens in Fillmore. When finished the Teen Study Room will have staff that can assist teens not only with their homework but work with them on such things as how to fill out job application and scholarship papers. A financial literacy course is also planned. We are excited about expanding our Positive Place For Kids. This is a $113,000 renovation project as the room under renovation was the former girls shower room when the facility was the girls gym at Fillmore High School many years ago. If you would like to make a donation to this project, checks can be sent to Teen Study Center c/o Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley PO Box 152 Santa Paula, CA. 93061.
