Boys & Girls Clubs expands in St. Lucie County with two new locations
Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Lucie County is pleased to announce the grand opening of two new Club locations at St. Lucie Elementary on February 3, 2025, and Dan McCarty Middle on February 10, 2025.
These new additions join the organization’s presence of over 25 Club locations in Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie.
These new Clubs will provide affordable, high-quality after-school programs for nearly 200 local students, ensuring they have a safe, engaging, and educational environment once the school day ends.
These new Club sites are 21st Century sites, meaning they offer academic and personal enrichment opportunities designed to expose youth to new learning environments using a project-based learning approach.
Students will benefit from up to five certified teachers on-site, offering academic support, mentoring, and guidance to help them succeed in school and beyond.
“My commitment throughout my career in youth development continues to influence the young people in my community through engaging and exciting extracurricular activities. Dan McCarty is expected to be a catalyst that encourages and supports our youth to achieve their academic goals through after-school enrichment, and I look forward to being an influential component, along with my team, to help our students reach and exceed their goals.”
— Kayla Turner, Dan McCarty Club director
“I am so excited to begin this partnership with St. Lucie Elementary! Cultivating individuality, teaching children to appreciate and accept diversity, and fostering a love for learning are at the heart of our mission.”
— Daffnie Mansell (Ms. Dee), St. Lucie Elementary Club director
In addition to this structured academic focus, Club members will enjoy the same high-quality after-school programs available at existing Boys & Girls Clubs, including hands-on STEM activities, arts education, homework help, and more.
These programs provide a fun and supportive environment where children can build confidence, develop leadership skills, and explore new interests.
Parents and caregivers at St. Lucie Elementary and Dan McCarty Middle will now have access to an after-school option that prioritizes safety and enrichment.
Families interested in enrolling their children in Boys & Girls Clubs programs can learn more at bgcofslc.org and register in person at the Club.
