\u201cEl Club es un lugar para hacer amigos y no meterse en problemas. Es un lugar genial para participar en actividades y ser completo\u201d, explic\u00f3 Davonte. \u201cEl personal del Club dedica tiempo de su d\u00eda a ayudar a los ni\u00f1os y divertirse con ellos.

En el Club, Davonte pasa tiempo con amigos, recibe ayuda con la tarea y juega baloncesto. Recientemente, Davonte ha comenzado a emerger como l\u00edder del Club al participar en el Keystone Club.
