Creating a Club of Empowerment
At the Boys & Girls Club of Fall River, creativity flourishes alongside community. In 2023, more than 300 young artists submitted their work to the BGCA National Arts Competition, showcasing talent in visual, digital, and applied arts. Building on that success, the Club is expanding its arts offerings to meet the growing interests of its teen members—introducing new opportunities in performing arts, storytelling, and music production.
Offered nightly and included in the Club’s modest annual membership, these programs give young people from immigrant and working families the chance to explore their voices and express themselves through art. The White Family Foundation’s long-standing partnership has helped sustain this creative outlet for more than a decade—ensuring that every child who walks through the Club’s doors can imagine, create, and belong.
