The Boys & Girls Club of Southeast Alabama received the Healthy Lifestyles Award at the Hall of Fame Luncheon in Birmingham! This recognition highlights the impact of our Jr. Taste Buds Academy, a program that’s changing lives by teaching members essential culinary, nutritional, and budgeting skills while fostering creativity and confidence.
Our program, part of the Healthy Habits initiative, empowers youth to:
Understand Nutrition: Learning the importance of balanced meals and making informed food choices.
Build Life Skills: Hands-on experience in recipe development, cooking, and budgeting.
Express Creativity: Through our Annual Jr. Chef competition, where kids showcase their talents and connect with the community.
Our members continue to gain tools for lifelong wellness. This award reflects their hard work, dedication, and creativity!
A huge thank you to our staff, community partners, and the young chefs who make this program a success.
We’re beyond excited to announce Savannah Pedroza as our 2025 Youth of the Year! Savannah truly embodies what it means to be a Club kid, having grown up at the Boys & Girls Club and making an incredible impact every step of the way. From her early days in STEM Mentoring and discovering her passion for the Arts—where she first learned to sing, dance, and perform in drama and choir—Savannah has embraced every opportunity to grow, learn, and give back.
Over the years, Savannah has taken part in our Jr. Chef program, Jr. Leaders, and countless other Club programs that have shaped her into the powerhouse she is today. Her achievements are outstanding: she’s Miss Ozark 2024, a two-time Soccer MVP, President of the National Honor Society, and a dedicated community volunteer with over 100 hours of service.
Savannah’s personal platform, “A Little Love Grows Big Confidence,” is her way of empowering youth by teaching essential life skills and providing critical supplies to those in need. She volunteers at the Club to teach youth essential manners and hygiene etiquette, instilling confidence and support. Through this initiative, she has organized the donation of hundreds of hygiene essentials and school supplies to our Club Members!
Savannah’s journey is proof of the incredible impact of the Boys & Girls Club, and she’s a shining example of leadership, kindness, and excellence. We couldn’t be prouder to honor her as our Youth of the Year!
THANK YOU to our wonderful community, The JOY FM Alabama and Jenna Mack - State Farm Agent for another amazing T-Shirts for Turkeys event! We collected 162 “turkeys” thanks to your generosity, ensuring that Boys & Girls Club families will enjoy a special holiday meal.
In our Healthy Habits' recent lessons, members learned all about the importance of eating a balanced and healthy diet to keep their bodies strong and energized. They explored the MyPlate model, which helps them understand how to build a meal with the right mix of food groups. By choosing a variety of foods from all five food groups, we can all feel our best and have the energy we need to learn, play, and grow!
We’re kicking off a capital campaign to bring our new Teen Center to life, and we need YOUR help! Whether you have a talent to share, time to spare, or dollars to donate, there's a way for everyone to contribute to this amazing project. Let's build a space where teens can thrive!
Ways to Donate:
