During our monthly conversation with Shanna Groeninger from the Boys & Girls Club of Evansville (she's their Resource Development Director), we got an update about what's happening at the club these days. Shanna tells us about what they're doing to keep kids and staff safe from COVID-19, how they are celebrating Happiness Week (this week), and some of the important financial lessons they are teaching young members (April is Financial Literacy Awareness Month).

The Boys & Girls Club tries to provide programming for all different aspects of their kid's lives, and during the month of April, they are focusing on teaching kids how to be responsible with money. With the help of One Main Financial, kids at the club partake in age-specific activities to help them learn the basics like counting coins, saving money, and the difference between wants and needs, and more.

Take a listen to our interview to hear what else is happening at the club.
