Blount County Youth of the Month – August 2023

Meet Riley

“I love coming to the Club so much!” exclaims 8 year-old Riley, a member of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley – Blount County. “Miss Erin has a really nice room, it’s so peaceful and calming and we learn a lot in her room. She taught us all about space and the different planets. Did you know that Pluto is actually a dwarf planet?

When I grow up I want to be an Olympic athlete and compete in gymnastics! I love practicing gymnastics at home. I know it’s really hard to be a champion, but I think I can do it. The staff at the Club always tell us to dream big and work hard and we can make our dreams come true!”
