Special Initiatives

These special initiatives are programs that you may not find at other Boys & Girls Clubs, but locally they enhance programming and increase the odds that youth will stay in the Club and off the street.



Antwan's All-Stars Antwan Odem of the Cincinnati Bengals has recently begun a relationship with the U.S. Bank Boys & Girls Club in Avondale.  Antwan plans to visit the Club once a month to get to know the kids, serve as a role model and offer incentives for good behavior or improved schoolwork.
