Blount County Youth of the Month – April 2024

Meet Elizabeth

“Power Hour is very helpful,” says 8-year-old Elizabeth, a member of Boys & Girls Clubs of Blount County. “It’s nice to be able to go into the Education room and get help with my homework, plus it’s great getting it done at the Club so that I don’t have to do it at home. My whole night is free to hang out with my family.

I love drawing at the Club and I painted a pretty picture of mountains with beautiful blue skies behind the mountains. My painting was actually featured in an art show that was held at Vienna, a local coffee shop. The Club staff decorated the second floor above Vienna with a bunch of paintings created by Club members. My mom, dad, and brother all went to the coffee shop to see all the paintings. I was really proud that everyone was able to see my painting in the show.”
