Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue’s Jr. Staff program is designed for members entering grades 10-12 who have a desire to work with younger children and be peer leaders.  The program includes opportunities for members to participate in ‘traditional’ camp activities under the supervision of professional staff.  Jr. Staff will develop their leadership skills as they  lead camp activities, and assist staff with the supervision of younger members.  Members that complete the program will have a new set of leadership skill as well as the confidence to try new leadership positions in other areas of their lives.
