Local Poverty Matters features Jim Keenan of Boys and Girls Club

Ever wonder how kids grow up to be productive members of society in today’s crazy world?  Or what you can do to help?

Hear from  Jim Keenan, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club of the Lower Merrimack Valley, about how the club inspires and enables young people, especially those who most need support, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. Bring your questions to the Local Poverty Matters Discussion on Wednesday, May 4^th, from 7-8 pm in the basement classroom of the First Religious Society, 26 Pleasant Street Newburyport. Bring a friend who also cares about the kids growing up in our community.

The Local Poverty Matters Discussion Group is held on first Wednesday of the month from October through May. These monthly sessions are sponsored by Pennies for Poverty and by the Social Action Committee of the First Religious Society. They are free and open to the public.
