🌼🏚️💀🎨 Creativity was on full display at the Club! From crafting colorful paper flowers and Día de los Muertos-inspired sugar skulls, to designing haunted houses and sharing heartfelt visions of what a beautiful world looks like, our youth brought imagination, culture, and creativity to life.

These projects were more than fun activities. They were opportunities for our members to see themselves as tomorrow's architects, engineers, builders, landscapers, artists, designers, and advocates for change. Through hands-on learning, they are building creativity, problem-solving skills, confidence, and a vision for their future.

✨ When you support the Club, you're helping shape the next generation of leaders, creators, and innovators. Join our team or make a donation today to help provide the experiences that inspire great futures.

Teamwork in Action

Our Jay Shideler Elementary School before-school members put their collaboration skills to the test with a fun and challenging cup-stacking activity! Using only strings and teamwork, they worked together to carefully move and stack cups, communicating every step of the way.

This hands-on challenge encouraged problem-solving, patience, leadership, and cooperation while proving that when we work together, amazing things can happen! 💙

A special shoutout to Ms. Kynzi for creating engaging opportunities that help our members build important life skills while having fun.

Thank you, Buffalo Wild Wings! 💛🦬

All month long, BWW guests have joined the Team Up for Kids fundraiser, with 100% of proceeds going to Boys & Girls Clubs of Topeka. Auction items donated by local businesses gave guests even more ways to give back.

Last Saturday, BWW hosted a Trunk or Treat, where kids enjoyed a safe, fun night with their friends and family, thanks to this community.

The fundraiser wraps up at the end of the month, so there’s still time to stop in at Buffalo Wild Wings and Team Up for Club Kids.

The impact of a great staff member is best measured through the lives they touch. 💙

Ms. Elaine's years of dedication have made a lasting difference for Club kids, our entire BGCT team, and school partners.

These notes from our youth are a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do and the incredible impact one caring adult can have.

We were grateful to welcome H. Walker, Boys & Girls Clubs of America Human Strategies Officer, for a meaningful conversation centered on workplace culture and team success.

Together, we reflected on the importance of trust, belonging, open communication, and shared accountability. One key takeaway: creating a positive workplace experience is everyone's responsibility. As leaders, that means listening, removing barriers, and creating the conditions for our people to thrive.

Thank you, H., for investing in our team and helping us strengthen the culture we're building together.

The journey between school and the Club matters.

Our new van will help support safe, reliable school drop-off and pickup for Club members, keeping them connected to caring mentors, enriching programs and a welcoming place to learn and grow.

Made possible through the Driving Great Futures partnership between Firestone Complete Auto Care, Tires Plus, and .clubs, this van is an investment in access and opportunity for Topeka’s young people.

Thank you to Bridgestone Retail Operations for making this new transportation resource possible, and to Hoyt's Truck Center for supporting our Club community.
