When Kyra arrived at the Boys & Girls Club, she’d been skipping school and questioning why she was even there. The turning point came when she found staff who truly listened rather than just lecturing about “don’t do this, don’t do that.” Surrounded by peers facing similar challenges, Kyra found the relatability she needed to open up. The support eventually led her back to school at 14, where she excelled and eventually gained early acceptance to college. Most importantly, the Club changed her entire perspective: “There’s nothing that I’m not worth— nothing that I’m not capable of.”
