For years, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hall County has provided a safe place and educational programs for students to retreat to after school. This year, the system is developing a pilot program over the coming weeks to actually go into a few of the schools it serves, with the aim of providing structure and a system of accountability for male youths. “We thought what would be a great idea is to really start to try to implement some of the programs that we run here, and put that concept in some of the schools,” explained club director Steven Mickens.
