After buying 12 houses along Monroe Street over the past year, the club finally broke ground on a new building Monday. The expansion project will create more space for their elementary and school programming and also create a community space.
Officials say the club -- which serves over 800 youth daily and about 1,800 children each year -- has had to turn people away because of a lack of space. Each summer, the club says it has over 100 children on its waiting list... Attract, Develop and Retain Diverse Talent
