Hear From Our Kids

"One of the highlights of my time at Cunha has been participating on sports teams including: volleyball, tennis, flag football, golf and track." - Brian (8th grader)

"If you are looking for an open loving place for your kid to go after school, then this is the right place for you!" - Lucy (5th grade)

"I loved the overnight camping trip to Memorial Park! It was my first time sleeping outdoors. My first overnight away from home. I loved being outdoors instead of being on my phone." - Uli (9th grade)

"The Club helps me get my homework done and I usually get A’s. I think I’d probably be a B student if it weren't for the Club. I can be a master procrastinator, and if I was at home I probably wouldn't be doing my work." - TJ (8th grade)

"I am grateful to BGCC for giving me a safe space as a kid and for helping me grow both personally and professionally, shaping me emotionally and mentally along the way." - Carmen Ramirez, current Program Staff Counselor, former Club member
