NSB Contributes $1,500 to Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Maine
SOUTH PORTLAND—For more than a century, Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Maine has provided youth development programs in a safe place to learn, have fun, and develop skills and interests that can last a lifetime. The organization’s mission is to inspire and enable all young people to realize their full potential as responsible, productive, and caring citizens. That impact is accomplished through summer camps, academic programs, literacy clubs, college and workforce readiness programs, and programs that promote interests in the arts, leadership, and more.
“Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Maine prioritizes academic success with after school and summer programs for students of all ages, helping participants stay on track to graduate and formulate a plan for their future,” said Dan Walsh, President and CEO of Norway Savings Bank. “It’s incredible to see how students embrace curiosity and acquire a lifelong love of learning along the way.”
In addition, participants learn about healthy lifestyles, wellness, and the importance of physical fitness through education and access to healthy snacks and meals, 90,000 of which were served to Maine youth last year.
The difference being made at clubhouses in Auburn, Lewiston, Portland, and South Portland has inspired longtime support from NSB, including a recent $1,500 donation.
“We are so grateful to Norway Savings Bank for their generous gift”, said Jen Pierce, Director of Operations at Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Maine. “This donation will directly support our youth development programs—helping us provide activities to support health and wellness, mentorship, and essential academics to the members in our community. We truly appreciate the bank’s commitment to investing in the futures of our youth.”
“We’re so grateful for the work of Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Maine,” said Walsh. “It inspires and guides young people to fulfillment and success. What could be better?”
