Welcome to the
 Wabana Boys and Girls Club |

|
| The Wabana Boys and Girls Club has
been operating since 1955, offering the children and youth of
Bell Island a safe haven. A place where they can have fun, meet
their friends and join in programs that will develop their
skills and assist them in becoming productive members of
society. I am sure that many of you can remember the fun
and excitement of meeting your friends or playing different
sports programs at the Wabana Boys & Girls Club. JUNK FOOD FREE ZONE. This means that our members are given only healthy snacks and our canteen supplies only healthy snack items. Our members are very good and only bring healthy snacks from home. We would like to offer a sincere thank-you to the members and their parents for helping us make sure our members eat healthy. Our club was the first to go Junk Food Free and we continue to carry out this great service to our members. This year we continue to run a Wellness Programs for our members. Healthy Exercise and Healthy Snacks as well programs that will keep our members active and alert. This is something that we have incorporated into all our daily programs. Our Get Busy program that incorporated a Cool Moves Program teaching leadership and skills to our younger members. Preparing them with the necessary skills to become mentors and role models to younger club members. Many of these young men and women now take part in our mentorship program at the club. Tutoring is still a big part of our club, Monday - Friday there is a Tutor available to assist members with their homework. They will assist members with subjects they find difficult.
