DORCHESTER, MA — As part of the Fall programming, we have resumed our fitness classes at Body + Fuel gym. Following all the recommended COVID-19 protocols, a small group of members have been meeting on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons to take part in the classes.

A huge thanks to our friends at Body + Fuel for hosting our members. Your continuous partnership and support of Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester is greatly appreciated by our members, staff and community. Also, a special thanks to The New Balance Foundation for supporting our fitness activities and encouraging health and wellness of our members.

DORCHESTER, MA — Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester is providing safe, supportive and supervised space to assist families in our community during the time children are learning remotely. Our newly developed Learning Hubs support cohorts of k-8 students during typical “school day” hours. The Learning Hub program includes meals, technology assistance, academic support and guidance. Hubs are led by BGCD staff with a focus on supporting the children’s social emotional wellbeing as they adapt to virtual learning. BGCD is such an important resource in the fight against learning loss and a resource for families in great need.

During the day we are incorporating enrichment activities and getting outside as often as possible! With a focus on supporting children’s social-emotional well-being, BGCD staff are providing opportunities for children to engage in the arts, fitness and other health and wellness activities throughout the day.
