Boys & Girls Clubs opens its new gym and teen center in Meridian

The expansion of the club, at 911 N. Meridian Road, has doubled capacity for sports and recreation opportunities while providing a separate space for teens, a population that the club is focused on attracting and retaining. In addition to a $1 million gift from the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation, the club received substantial donations from the city of Meridian and many local companies and foundations.
