HEALTH & LIFE SKILLS

Healthy Habits Start Here

Growing up means learning how to take care of yourself, make good choices and build habits that last.

At the Boys & Girls Clubs of Manteca and Lathrop, young people have opportunities to learn about nutrition, wellness, healthy decision-making and the everyday skills that help them feel confident and capable.

Skills for Everyday Life

Healthy living is about more than exercise. It’s understanding how the choices we make every day affect how we feel, how we grow and how we approach the world around us.

Through hands-on activities, conversations and experiences, Club members can build practical skills they can carry with them beyond the Club.
