Dear Muncie, Indiana,

I am excited to introduce myself to everybody as the new CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Muncie, IN. I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet all of the communities here, especially the young people in our area. While I have lived in large cities (New York, and Philadelphia) all of my life, my time working with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia gave me a large, loving community that I was privileged to join.

I have worked with children, from the ages of 6 weeks up to 19 years old, since 1995, as an Early Childhood Educator, Summer Camp Director, and Early Childhood Director. In 2006 I moved to Philadelphia and joined the Boys & Girls Club Movement. Since then I’ve worked as an Early Childhood Center Director and Program Director. Those experiences helped to teach me about how much I missed out on, not having a Boys & Girls Club, growing up. It is my goal to expand the reach of our Clubs so that every child in the area has the opportunity for a great Club experience on which I missed out.

We all have some exciting things planned for the coming year, stop by the Club, see what we’re up to, and keep an eye on our Website, and Facebook page to see all that we’re doing.

I am thrilled to be here and can’t wait to get to know you all.

Sincerely,

Jason Newman
