Happy July, Way Club Supporters!

We are super excited for this month because that means we are quickly approaching our First Anniversary Gala! Everyone who has donated to our GiveButter Fundraising Campaign will receive a free ticket and should have already received a formal invitation in their email inbox. There is still time to make a donation if you would like to join in on our celebration! Stay tuned over the next few weeks for more details.

Let’s Get Recreational!

Another reason why we are excited for the month of July is because we are gearing up for our first cohort of Summer Growth Academy! This is the first step for applicants to become full-fledged Way Club members.

Summer Growth Academy will be a fun, 2-week foundational training program where members will attend seminars that focus on developmental, recreational, and spiritual growth. They will also be able to meet speakers from all different industries to fully explore possible career options.

As you may already know, the mission of creating a safe space for teenagers to have recreational FUN was one of the driving forces of Way Club’s creation. So of course our Summer Growth Academy will include sessions for our teens to learn how to live life while also having a great time!

Vetri Community Partnership is a non-profit organization that provides culinary and nutrition education programs to more than 20,000 people of all ages throughout Philadelphia and Camden each year.

Speaker Tamayah Brice from the Vetri Community Partnership will have a cooking workshop for our teens while teaching about nutrition and relevant food topics

Speaker Jennifer Petty will lead our members in a beginner’s yoga class!

We have almost reached $11,000 in our first fundraising campaign! All donations received will directly support Summer Growth Academy and other similar programs hosted by way Club. This allows us to provide a safe environment — both physical and mentally — for Greater Philadelphia teens. Please consider making a one-time or monthly donation to help us foster a new generation of leaders. You can learn more about Way Club and our mission at www.wayclub.org.
