Ja’Farris’ Club story has come full circle. 🙌
After growing up as a Club member himself, Ja’Farris has spent the past 10 years pouring back into the Boys & Girls Club of Dayton as a staff member, mentor, and role model for our young people.
Now, he is excited for what the future holds. Our new Club will allow us to provide an even greater level of learning, mentorship, and growth — including a dedicated Teen Center where teens can build life skills, prepare for adulthood, and have a space of their own to dream, lead, and thrive.
Thanks to the Mathile Family Foundation’s $500,000 matching gift, your support can go twice as far. Join Ja’Farris in helping provide the next generation of Dayton leaders with the opportunities, tools, and spaces they need to succeed.
Together, we are taking the Boys & Girls Club of Dayton From Here... Forward!
