“Around Downtown”
Our Boys & Girls Club Teens are continuing their exciting summer program, "Around Downtown", right here in Moline! Over past two weeks, they explored two amazing local spots: Dead Poet's Espresso and The Atlas Collective - Brews & Books, a unique coffee shop and bookstore combo.
Huge thanks to the passionate owners who took time to share their stories and gave our teens a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run a small business. From brewing the perfect cup to balancing books and building community, they offered valuable insights and inspiration.
Programs like these help our teens connect with local leaders, explore career paths, and see the power of entrepreneurship in action.
