Black History Month Program

On Thursday, February 28th, The Club hosted its annual Black History Month Program in the multipurpose room. Parents, guests, and club members enjoyed an inspiring event featuring singing, recitations, and speeches by club members.

A special highlight of the evening was an African dance performance by former Youth Club member and dance instructor Kristina Holmes.

During the program, we also recognized the winners of our Black History Month Kahoot Quiz Bowl, which took place on February 19th. We are incredibly proud of all our members who participated in both the quiz bowl and the program.

Well done, everyone!

Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Youth Club Activities Celebrate Dr. King’s Legacy
On Wednesday, January 15, the West Cook County Youth Club hosted activities for club members to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on his birthday.

Younger club members watched two educational videos about Dr. King’s life and participated in a Kahoot online trivia game, featuring questions based on the videos. Meanwhile, middle school and high school students watched Dr. King’s powerful 1967 speech, “What is in Your Life’s Blueprint,” delivered to students at Barratt Junior High School in Philadelphia. Following the video, students engaged in a thoughtful discussion about how the speech might be adapted if delivered in 2025.
