To say we are excited is an understatement! We can\u2019t wait to pour into the young people of Ripley!\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Why a school-based site<\/h2>\n<p>School-based sites are the main way Boys &amp; Girls Clubs add new locations, according to Doyle, and the Ripley Middle School setup solves several problems at once.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPartnering with Lauderdale County Schools at the Ripley Middle School location is perfect for our after-school programming,\u201d Doyle said. \u201cIt resolves transportation barriers, provides our Club Kids with classrooms and a gym, security cameras and more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He credited school leaders for making the expansion possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wouldn\u2019t be able to do this without the vision of Lauderdale County Superintendent of Schools Selina Sparkman and the support of the Lauderdale County School Board,\u201d Doyle said.<\/p>\n<h2>What the club will offer<\/h2>\n<p>The Ripley club will bring many of the same programs used in Covington, including four key initiatives:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reading Success Academy: <\/strong>Extra academic support and targeted reading instruction to strengthen literacy skills.<\/li>\n<li><strong>STEM Discovery Den: <\/strong>Hands-on science, technology, engineering and math experiences, including robotics, drones, 3D printing, problem-solving and critical thinking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Workforce Warriors: <\/strong>Exposure to careers, employers and job skills, helping students connect what they learn in school to future opportunities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Healthy Minds = Great Futures: <\/strong>Emotional, social and mental health support, with mental health professionals and other resources available to students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>A local leader at the helm<\/h2>\n<p>Linda Taylor, a Ripley High School graduate and an experienced employee of the club\u2019s Covington location, will serve as on-site director.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLinda knows Ripley, she knows young people, and she knows the Boys &amp; Girls Club,\u201d Doyle said. \u201cThat combination makes her the perfect person to help us launch this new club. We are excited about what she will bring to the students and families of Lauderdale County.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Part of a bigger vision<\/h2>\n<p>Doyle said the Ripley site marks the start of a broader plan to reach young people throughout the Hatchie River Region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have seen what can happen when a community comes together and says that its young people matter,\u201d Doyle said. \u201cWe believe the same thing can happen in Ripley.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of organizations focus on serving youth. We are committed to more than just serving,\u201d he said. \u201cEverything we do is focused on transforming young lives and helping them build a great future. Every kid deserves that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Community partners wanted<\/h2>\n<p>The organization is looking for businesses, churches, industries, organizations and individuals to support the Ripley location through donations, volunteering, program partnerships or other resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe futures we are building for these kids can\u2019t happen if we\u2019re the only ones building,\u201d Doyle said. \u201cThe strongest Boys &amp; Girls Clubs are built and sustained through strong community partnerships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doyle said the effort already has the support of Lauderdale County Executive Ronnie Jackson and Ripley Mayor Craig Fitzhugh.<\/p>\n<h2>How to get involved<\/h2>\n<p>For questions about the Ripley location or to become a partner, contact Ed Doyle at 901-800-6186 or edoyle@bgchrr.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boys &amp;
