April at the Club: Honoring the achievements and aspirations of our Club teens
This April, the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows is proud to highlight the many ways we support youth as they plan for their futures. One of the most meaningful ways we do this is through scholarships that help our Club teens take the next step toward higher education and career training. Over $2,000,000 in scholarships have been awarded over the years. In 2025, the Club awarded $234,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors and alumni pursuing college, trade programs, and certification pathways. These scholarships help remove financial barriers and open doors to new opportunities for youth who are working hard to achieve their goals.
Our commitment doesn’t stop once scholarships are awarded. Through continued mentorship, application guidance, and re-enrollment support when challenges arise, our team stays connected with students throughout their journey. By walking alongside them every step of the way, we ensure that our youth have the encouragement, resources, and confidence they need to succeed long after they leave the Club.
20th Annual Spelling Bee, April 25th - Sponsored by MetLife
This year marks the 20th Annual Club Spelling Bee, proudly sponsored by MetLife. This exciting event brings together Club members from across our sites to celebrate learning, confidence, and academic achievement.
Participants will showcase their spelling skills in a fun and supportive environment while building confidence speaking in front of peers and community members. The Spelling Bee is more than just a competition—it’s an opportunity for youth to challenge themselves, celebrate their efforts, and take pride in their academic progress. Events like this highlight how learning at the Club can be both engaging and empowering. We’re proud of every member who participates and can’t wait to cheer them on!
