Saturday Tutoring Students Need You!

Boys and Girls Club

Help fuel young minds during our Saturday Academic Tutoring sessions by sponsoring Saturday Study Snacks! Every Saturday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, 150 kids in grades K-7 come to our Paterson and Passaic Clubhouses for academic support and enrichment. This program focused on strengthening math and literacy skills is offered FREE to students in both cities. To keep students focused and energized for learning, we provide lunch and nutritious snacks throughout the day.

We’re inviting community members to contribute by donating funds or healthy snacks for tutoring students.  You can drop off donations between 9:00-10:00 AM at either of our Clubhouse locations:

    • Paterson Clubhouse: 264 21st Ave, Paterson, NJ
    • Passaic Clubhouse: 14 Hudson St, Passaic, NJ

Each location hosts 75 kids, and your generosity helps ensure they have the fuel they need for a successful day of learning!
