PROGRAMS

Increasing numbers of Cuero youngsters are engaged in learning, joyful camaraderie, and melodious melodies after school hours at The Boys and Girls Club of Cuero.

The team, composed of dedicated staff, program instructors, and enthusiastic volunteers, collaborates to present a diverse range of educational and enjoyable activities tailored to every club member.

Following assistance with homework tasks and the provision of nourishing meals, club participants are allocated into grade-based clusters. Proficient in youth development, the professionals guide the members to various available programs.

These offerings encompass a wide spectrum of activities, including indoor and outdoor recreation, scientific exploration, mathematical pursuits, technological engagement, artistic expression, physical fitness, nutritional education, and more.

Thanks to a blend of external grants and local community fundraising efforts, the club boasts specialized instructors who visit on designated days to facilitate these distinctive programs.

Character & Leadership

While currently developing our teen mentoring program, we offer volunteer opportunities to both community and Club members. Volunteering fosters responsibility, a positive attitude, daily interaction, and situational awareness.

Club members recite the Boys and Girls Club code daily and are held accountable for maintaining age-appropriate club responsibilities, such as picking up toys and games after playing, helping to organize areas of the Club, and cleaning up after eating.

In the past, members have participated in following:

Park & Lake Clean-Ups
Pet Adoption Drive

Education & Career

Members have the opportunity to complete homework daily. They are divided into groups according to grade level and separated into various rooms throughout the Club.

During the summer, members learn skills and etiquette to further their education, are exposed to many enrichment programs, and also experience several career-building opportunities.

We are developing our teen program and have organized special presentations to impact future teen members. A financial literacy program teaches staff, members, and community teenagers, skills to become fiscally responsible throughout their education and lives.

Theatre

One of the popular programs offered to club members, as well as temporary members, is the yearly theatrical production. Past musicals include: Cinderella, Mary Poppins, Little Mermaid, Jr. and other popular productions.

Club members and temporary members rehearse starting in August each year to put on a musical that is performed for the public at the end of October at the Cuero Performing Arts Center.

Rehearsals start in August, and the cast meets throughout the weeks leading up to the performances at the end of October.

In addition to the musical, the Club hosts an annual Gospel Brunch in February, where club members typically perform pieces from the year’s musical.
