How do we help kids thrive in today’s world?

The challenges kids face today are different from those of past generations, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeastern North Carolina are evolving to meet those needs. In this episode of Topsail Insider, host Trudy Solomon sits down with Dawn-Michelle Blalock, CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeastern NC, to discuss how the organization is shaping young lives through academic support, character development, social wellness, and workforce training.

Dawn-Michelle shares her personal journey—from a background in nursing and healthcare leadership to leading an organization that serves over 2,200 kids across five counties. She opens up about the growing needs in our community, the innovative programs making an impact, and how the club is preparing kids for bright futures.

Plus, learn about the new summer camp in Pender County, scholarship opportunities, and how you can get involved.
