Building Connections Through Our Partnership with Kristen Hester and her Sam Houston State University students! 🧡💙
We are excited to announce our partnership with Professor Kristen Hester, M.A. Sam Houston State University (SHSU) and the wonderful opportunities this collaboration brought to our Boys & Girls Club of Walker County – Huntsville Site members!
Through this partnership, looked forward to welcoming students from SHSU's Interpersonal Communication class, led by Lecturer Kristen Hester, M.A.

This collaboration gave youth the opportunity to build meaningful connections, strengthen their communication skills, and learn valuable lessons through engaging activities and interactions with college students.
Throughout the semester, SHSU students spend time getting to know our members, building relationships, and leading interactive lessons focused on interpersonal communication. These experiences will encourage our youth to develop confidence, practice positive communication, strengthen social skills, and learn the importance of building healthy relationships.

We are especially excited about the opportunities this partnership will provide—not only for our Club members but also for the SHSU students, who will have the chance to gain hands-on experience working with youth in our community.

The plan for this semester was:
📅 September 10 | 10:00–10:30 AM�Facility Tour & Q&A
📅 September 24 | 4:00–5:00 PM�Get-Acquainted Visit with Assigned Groups
📅 November 5 | 4:00–5:00 PM�Interpersonal Communication Lessons with Our Groups
At the Boys & Girls Club, we believe that strong community partnerships create meaningful opportunities for young people to learn, grow, and succeed. We are grateful to Kristen Hester and students for investing their time, knowledge, and talents into our youth.

Our members and staff had a wonderful time during this partnership experience! Everyone enjoyed the opportunity to connect, get acquainted, share conversations, and participate in meaningful interactions with the SHSU students. We are excited about the relationships being built.
We truly appreciate Kristen Hester for partnering with us and helping create memorable learning experiences for our youth! 🧡💙

Together, we are creating opportunities that make a difference! 🧡💙
