The programs offered by Boys & Girls Club of the Redwoods are designed to drive positive outcomes and reinforce the development of essential life skills for youth residing in Humboldt County.
On November 3, 2020 (Item C-8) the Board approved a professional services agreement with Boys & Girls Club of the Redwoods regarding implementation of the SMART Moves, SMART Girls and Passport to Manhood programs which are designed to provide youth with tools to resist alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, avoid premature sexual activity and transition from adolescence to adulthood.
The attached professional services agreement with Boys & Girls Club of the Redwoods will allow for the continued implementation of the SMART Moves, SMART Girls and Passport to Manhood programs for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.
Accordingly, the Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”) recommends that the Board approve, and authorize the Chair of the Board to execute, the attached professional services agreement with Boys & Girls Club of the Redwoods regarding the continued implementation of the SMART Moves, SMART Girls and Passport to Manhood programs for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.
