Boys and Girls Club Opening Career Center

Business

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Sarasota County received a major gift from Tom and Debbie Shapiro to help close a significant gap between the job market and qualified candidates for employment in the community. This contribution will support workforce development at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sarasota County’s new Career Resource Center on Fruitville Road in Sarasota. In recognition, the building will be named the Tom and Debbie Shapiro Career Resource Center. The center will house classes and training programs for Boys and Girls Club members, encouraging them to pursue higher education at the collegiate level or secure competitive community employment after high school graduation in areas including skilled vocational jobs.
