Elks visit Chester Boys and Girls Club in efforts to engage our youth

Indeed many continue their service in the organization, passing on that legacy to others.

Chester's branch of the Elks has been active in the city for over one hundred and five years. In communities such as Chester, children, and youth crave experiences, mentorships, and creative outlets that provide focus, vision, and opportunities for a future free of negative influences. In this digital age, connecting with youth is a bit dice, but not at all difficult. Social media platforms appear to have taken the place of the personal connection... one-to-one conversation. This coupled with the phlegmatic attitude that youth seem to have regarding society, suggests that community organizations, stakeholders, and anyone with concerns about today’s young people should and absolutely must meet them where they're at to deliver a message of hope.
