Lincoln’s Boys and Girls Club offers students at Park Middle School and Lincoln North Star before and after school programs focused on STEM, entrepreneurship and professional skills development.
The club gives students the opportunity to access technology they may not have at home while learning skills like coding and design, Goins said. There are approximately 190 students enrolled at Park this semester.
“(Boys and Girls Club) is a highlight of their day,†she said. “To say they are disappointed is an understatement.”
