Awards, reading milestones, and a special visit from New Orleans Pelicans guard and Club alumnus Melvin Council Jr. made our 2026 Accelerated Reading Celebration one to remember.

Community leaders and partners joined the Boys & Girls Clubs of Rochester to celebrate the opening of a newly renovated Teen Center, marking a major investment in the future of Rochester’s youth.

In the Teen Art Project “A Million Club Stories,” Club teens are using photos they’ve taken and artwork they’ve created to design coloring books inspired by real moments at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Rochester. A new book will be created each week and printed for members to enjoy.

Executive Director Dwayne Mahoney joined community leaders to highlight how youth employment opportunities are helping Rochester teens build skills.
