"This recent crisis has brought to light some shortfalls within our organization and this new app will allow us to properly communicate with our Club members and their families all of the important programs and events to fulfill their basic needs that we have."
Their new mobile application will make it easy for the organization to relay club hours, activities, news and other pertinent information to the parents and young adults. The platform will also provide a messaging feature for members to contact the nonprofit's administrators directly.
"We are proud to partner with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach and contribute to their continued mission of building great futures for young people," said Nick Swenson, Managing Partner, Swenson He. "We hope the platform will help break the cycle of poverty by making their development programs more accessible to the youth in the community."
