The Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe joins 4,000 clubs across the country with a focus on making sure youth have the support and motivation to stay in school and graduate from high school.

The Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe will continue to ensure that our youth know that pursuing a higher education or trade certificate is the next step. The local club recently hosted a creative careers symposium that showed teens how important it is to get an education in order to pursue your dreams for the future. Local business members and entrepreneurs engaged the members with inspiring stories of how they pursued their career paths.
