Today, youth in North Mississippi need their Boys & Girls Club more than ever. The rapid, ongoing spread of COVID-19 has created uncertain and frightening times for the children and families we serve. 

Boys & Girls Club of North Mississippi has always played an important role in our community, adapting and evolving to support kids and families through the most challenging of circumstances. Now we must harness the power of our reputation, strength of our relationships in the community, and tremendous experience serving at-risk populations to navigate the onset and evolving nature of COVID-19.

Here are some of the proactive steps we’ve quickly taken to continue to protect the well-being of our members, as well as to continue the important work of Boys & Girls Clubs of North Mississippi:

•   Boys & Girls Clubs of North Mississippi implements a 1:10 employee/Club member ratio; only serving a maximum of 50-60 Club members at its      Tupelo, New Albany and Oxford sites. A maximum of 30 members are served at the Ripley site.

•   Additional safety procedures are enforced to help eradicate the spreading of COVID-19, including multiple temperature checks, curbside drop        off and pickup and requiring masks for all members and staff.

•  Individual hot meals and snacks are served, daily.

•   Boys & Girls Clubs of North Mississippi follows all CDC guidelines, as well as, all local and State regulations in each community it serves.
