Members of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Virginia Peninsula will have increased access to educa- tional opportunities thanks to a transportation grant of $20,000 from the Beazley Foundation. The Clubs offer daily programs including home- work assistance and tutoring, workforce devel- opment classes, money management workshops, college preparation sessions, field trips and more,


all of which help young people prepare for suc- cessful adulthood.

"We are grateful for the Beazley Foundation's incredible support," noted Steven Kast, President & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of


the Virginia Peninsula. "Transportation of youth to educational program opportunities is an ob- stacle, and this grant will help us provide more access to these programs for young people."
