Janis\u2019 journey with Boys & Girls Clubs began at just six years old when she first walked through the doors of her local Club in southwest Missouri. From that moment on, the Club became a place of growth, opportunity, and support. Today, Janis carries that same sense of belonging into her role as the Club Director at Suncor Boys & Girls Club, creating transformative experiences for youth every day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After growing up in the Club through age 18, Janis knew her time with Boys & Girls Clubs was far from over. For more than two and a half years, she has served in multiple roles at Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver. Starting as an Athletic Specialist at Crawford Elementary Boys & Girls Club, advancing to Program Manager, then Club Director at KIPP Green Valley Ranch Boys & Girls Club, and now leading as the Club Director at Suncor Boys & Girls Club.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Janis, the best part of her job isn\u2019t just the programs or the activities, it\u2019s the moments that matter most.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"My favorite part of working at the Club is being part of those small moments that make a big difference in a child\u2019s life\u2014helping them recognize their own potential, providing opportunities for growth, and being a positive influence in their development. Every moment holds the chance for magic, and we have the privilege of creating it.\"<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Her dedication and leadership continue to shape the experiences of Club members, ensuring that every Club member who walks through the doors has the chance to grow, thrive, and find their own magic.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
