Fort Craig Club – Youth of the Month – June 2022

Meet Chalmier

“I’ve been coming to the Club since I was in Kindergarten, so seven years now,” says 12 year-old Chalmier, a member of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley – Fort Craig Club. “During that time, I’ve made lots of friends. The staff at the Club are always telling us how important it is to be kind to one another, and I think that’s a great message.

I love participating in the weight lifting classes with Coach Chip. All my friends go to the weight room twice a week and we practice squats, dead lifts, bench presses, inclines, and box squats. I’ve learned so much about weight lifting and I’m much stronger now. I now know that anything is possible, if you put your mind to it.”
