Boys and Girls Club of Troy



Troy Women’s Association provided $1,250 in financial assistance for two special programs offered to the young people attending the Boys & Girls Club of Troy.
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math).  $450 was earmarked for STEM which teaches students problem solving, teamwork and critical thinking skills.  The funding will be used to purchase necessary supplies.

 RAD (Rape Aggression Defense).  $800 was allocated to allow twenty girls and twenty boys to attend these classes at no cost.  This is the first year boys have been offered the opportunity to participate in the gender-specific program.  The RAD system begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and avoidance while progressing to the basics of hands-on self-defense.
