The Boys and Girls Club of Northeast Ohio is bracing to lose $3 million in funding. It could force the organization to scale back services or shut down facilities if new money sources don’t bridge the gap.The Northeast Ohio chapter of the Boys and Girls Club offers activities, excursions and academic support to children ages 6-18 year-round.
“I feel like it’s a great experience for you to just come here, play or work here and meet new people, explore and things of that nature,” she said.“They help me a lot, too, with work that I need to do,” said Journey Suddeth, 13, who’s been a Boys and Girls Club member since age 6. “We’re in this position, not because of any fiscal mismanagement or any nefarious things that have happened,” said CEO Allen Smith. “We’re here because, unfortunately, funding changed. We had no control over it.”
Another piece of funding for the Clubs comes from local school districts. Some districts facing a similar loss in money are cutting after-school activities while they try to balance their budgets.
