Blount County Youth of the Month – June 2023

Meet Elizabeth

“I love our new Club so much!” exclaims 8 year-old Elizabeth, a member of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley – Blount County. “Our old Club was nice, but our new Club at the church is so beautiful! It has lots of different rooms where we can go, like the tech lab, arts & crafts, games room, and the education room. The new Club also has a really nice, big gym that I love going to. We get to walk to it and it’s nice to go outside and get some sunshine and fresh air. In the gym, they have hula hoops and big bouncy balls that we get to play with and it’s fun!

When I grow up I would like to be a swimming teacher. I think it’s important for everyone to know how to swim, because at any time you could find yourself in water and if you can’t swim, you’re in big trouble. I can’t wait to go on some field trips this summer to the pool!”
