Comcast Thanked for School Supplies
Boys & Girls Clubs of Union County
A special thank you to our friends at Comcast for all the fantastic Back to School Supplies! Comcast employees throughout New Jersey took part in the school supply drive for their local Boys & Girls Club. Our members are excited to be back in the classroom and are ready for a great year of learning! A special thanks as well to YouGiveGoods.com for making the supply drive happen.
Comcast is a national partner of Boys & Girls Clubs of America for Digital Literacy and supports our program during the year. Through their support, members have hands-on learning on touch screen computers, coding, understanding technology, digital cameras, and digital printers. Comcast has designed a digital curriculum for youth ages 6-18 called “My.Future”, which prepares youth for success in a digital world.
“We cherish our partnership with Comcast and the local employees,” said Russell Triolo, CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Union County. “They have provided our members with so many wonderful career development experiences, including a behind the scenes look at television production”.
After-school programs are now open for our Union, Elizabeth, and Plainfield Clubs. Contact us at 908-687-2697 for information and registration. Teen Leadership Club programs are available at our Clubs in Plainfield, Elizabeth, and Union. Teen members participate in character, leadership, career preparation, and community service activities throughout the year.
