The Boys and Girls Club of Wake County is located on Raleigh Blvd in the heart of Raleigh's Southside neighborhood. It is one of Raleigh's most significant legacies, and has developed many successful atheletes and public figures. The area surrounding the Boys and Girls Club is a low socio-economic neighborhood and has been subjected to violence. Although some kids aren't in these violent or poverty-stricken neighborhoods, many are. For some of these kids, it may feel like there's no escape from the cycle of violence and poverty, but this is where the Boys and Girls Club steps in. The Boys and Girls Club of Wake County provides young men and women with an escape from troubled living situations, and allows to them to be around kids their age. They engage in many different activities, such as pool, ping pong, foosball, and the computer lab. Another outlet the Boys and girls club has is sports. During my time there, it was basketball season which is a significant deal on the Southside of Raleigh. John Wall, and P.J. Tucker are big-name NBA players that both attended the Boys and Girls Club of Wake County. They lived in the same conditions as the young men and women there now. Now they make sure always to give back and visit the community, with John Wall hosting his annual John Wall tournament, in which Southeast has competed, and Pj tucker having his basketball league at the Boys club named the P.J. Tucker League. The Sports Program is hosted by Rashad Herndon, who I worked with during my time as a volunteer. Herndon is also a close friend of a my Father. Keeping in touch with John Wall and Pj Tucker is easy for Rashad since they've all grown up together. There are many different opportunities at the Boys and Girls Club, with members-only paying 7.50 monthly for each child.

Civic engagement means doing something in your community to help, or fill a need that the government is not. This can includes things such as spreading awareness or doing volunteer work. Being involved in your community is essential because you never know what little kid you may help or who is watching you. If someone sees you being involved, it could also cause them to want to be. As a community coming together to do civic activities is greatly important to not only help the earth, but to also build a stronger sense of community around your area.

For my civic engagement, I choose to do volunteer work at a local Boys and Girls Club. When I was younger, I went to the girls club and saw what it's like being there firsthand. Although I wasn't in the same circumstance as most of the little kids there, I can see the effects of poverty and violence on the lives of little children. My actions will help by showing kids there will always be someone to help and care for them, and the new world always starts with the next generation.
