It’s officially back-to-school season for nearly 60,000 kids throughout the Ocoee Region, and that means a mad rush to get Back-to-School ready!
Of course, no back-to-school prep work is complete without making sure your kids are registered as Club Members for the 2026-27 school year.
Ocoee Region Clubs have a LOT to offer you and your kids (take a look at our answers to Frequently Asked Questions for more details). Every afternoon, while you finish your workday, Clubs become a safe, fun place where kids can learn and grow, receive healthy meals and snacks, get a helping hand from trusted adult mentors, and so much more.
So, what are you waiting for? Register NOW!

Exciting news for some of our Ocoee Region young people!
Aubri Whaley, Acadia Lupo, Emily Demotte, and McKenzie Lakes—all members of our Keystone Youth Advisory Council (KYAC)—came together from different areas of the Ocoee Region to work on ways to help alleviate food insecurity. The solution they devised was to create “Blessing Boxes” filled with non-perishable food items and have participating Clubs distribute the boxes to those in need in their communities.
Because of their work in KYAC, Aubri, Acadia, Emily, and McKenzie were all invited to participate in this year’s SAY Conference (Summit for America’s Youth) in Washington, DC.
Congratulations to our team. We’re all cheering for you and believing for an AMAZING week in our nation’s capital!

Thank You, Old National Bank Foundation!
Earlier today, a team from the Etowah branch of Old National Bank arrived at our Hixson Administrative Offices to present us with an incredibly generous grant in support of their “Sustaining Safe Spaces & Economic Opportunity for Etowah Youth” project. This grant reflects a shared commitment to stewardship, transparency, and learning in service of our Etowah community.
We’re truly grateful for the work done by organizations such as Old National Bank Foundation to support the Club and our mission to equip young people for Great Futures!
