A Club Parent’ s Perspective
Club Member: Karla Cortes Club Parent: Ana Frausto
How did you learn about the Club? I learned about the Club from a friend.
How old are your children? How long have they been Club members? Karla, my daughter, is eighteen and she was a member for twelve years. Axel, my son, is twenty and he was a member for six years.
What were their favorite activities? The Game Room and Dance Dance Revolution.
What do you think about the Club’ s educational programs, including tutoring and homework help? I just want to say that any program that they have at the Club could be very helpful for any child that wants to be involved in it.
How has the Club benefited your children? Did you see any changes in either of your children during or
after their time here? The Club has been very helpful for both of my children, especially Karla. Karla became very outgoing and friendly; she loves the Club. Karla has changed a lot throughout the years.
How has the Club impacted you as a parent? WOW! This is a really good question! When I learned about the Club, I was a single parent raising two kids. The Club helped me keep my kids safe and educated them at the same time.
What would you share with other parents interested in becoming a part of our organization? I would say and share that the Club is a safe place for any child and they help each child find his or her passion.
Looking in the future, what changes or additions would you like the Club to make to benefit other members? I actually wouldn’ t change anything about the Club. I think it has everything for every child that comes to the Club. All they need to do is take advantage of all the programs and be a part of the adventure.
