Orr Elementary School Addendum to the "Establishing, Enhancing, and Expanding Boys & Girls Clubs" Project (2003-LD-BX-K002)

This award will allow the Boys & Girls Club of America (B&GCA), now serving more than 3.3 million youth, employing more than 11,300 full-time and 22,500 part-time youth professionals, and organizing the efforts of more than 200,000 volunteers, to continue their work in FY 2003.
