Congratulations to Eric For Becoming
Northern California Youth of the Year finalist!!!
 Eric
Sanchez, 16, is a member of the Orange Cove Boys
& Girls Clubs. Eric's mother works as a farm
laborer in the fields and raised her children
with limited English and working skills. She
relies on Eric to translate for her and help at
home. When an opportunity to work for the Fresno
Housing Authority's "Youth Mentor Program" arose
last summer, Eric earned a position and lessened
the burden for his mom and purchased school
clothes for him and his younger sister. His mom
is very supportive of her children's education.
A junior at Orange Cove High School, Eric
carries a 3.8 GPA. He is proud to be rated
17th in a class of 180. His mom encouraged
him to get involved in school Clubs engaged in
community service. He is active in
"Generation Green" where he volunteers at a
convalescent home. His mother fortified his
desire to join "College Club", where students
must be a junior or senior with a 3.0 GPA or
higher. Eric joined MECha, a student
organization that promotes higher education,
Mexican culture, and history. Eric is actively
involved in the Mathematics, Engineering, and
Science Achievement Club. Their activities have
given him confidence to pursue being an
engineer. He is enrolled in prerequisite classes
required for college entrance. He is taking his
SAT this spring with hopes of being accepted to
one of his college choices.

It
Just Takes One! |
|
The philosophy of the It Just Takes One
campaign
 is
that it just takes one caring adult to make a life-long impact on
the character of a child. The dollars raised from the One Campaign
provide the youth of Fresno County with a safe place to learn and
grow, away from the negative influences that many are confronted
with today.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Fresno County is committed to enabling all
children to participate in our youth guidance and development
programs. We do this by keeping membership fees affordable for
everyone...just $5/year! This is only possible thanks to
contributions from generous individuals and businesses. If you would
like to make a gift to support our programs, please click the online
