As schools prepare to welcome students back during one of the most challenging times in recent history, Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota County is here to help local children and teens navigate this new academic world by providing them with a safe place to access educational resources. Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota County is now accepting applications for its 2020-2021 Great Futures Academy School-Year Program, which will launch on August 24 at its Club in DeSoto County and on August 31 at its five Clubs in Sarasota County. The program will provide a limited number of youth, ages 6 to 12, with both on-site support for students who opted into their school’s remote learning option, as well as, afterschool activities designed to foster academic success, leadership development and career exploration. “We are proud partners of Sarasota County Schools and the DeSoto County School District, and both entities are working tirelessly to keep students on track to achieve state standards in key subjects that promote life-long success,” said Bill Sadlo, President/CEO at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota County. “We are proud to supplement the educational needs of our community’s future leaders through our new Great Futures Academy School-Year Program.”
