Strengthening Families Program

Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows is excited to offer a new educational opportunity to our members, their families, and the community. The Strengthening Families Program is a 10 week, evidence-based program in which children, ages 6-17, and their parents attend classes focusing on topics that help create happier, more successful families. Each class is two hours in length and allows for parents and their children to eat a meal together, separate for class, and engage in a family activity and discussion around each week’s module. Weekly modules include topics such as: Communicating with Love and Understanding; Alcohol, Tobacco, Drug Use; Setting Consequences and Limits; and Choosing Good Friends and Monitoring Activities.

The Strengthening Families Program is completely free, including a meal and childcare for children under the age of six. Children whose families participate must become members of Boys & Girls Club and as always, scholarship opportunities are available. Classes will begin the last week of January. For more information and to reserve your family’s space, please contact
