Walton County Boys & Girls Club welcomes Nickolas Williams as its newest member this month.

“Nickolas comes in ready to go to the gym to play basketball or football with the rest of the guys,” Kelsey Malcom, WCBGC Teen Director, shared. “Though he is new to the Club, it did not take him long to get comfortable with the rest of the students in the 10-12 group or getting to know some of the teens. One of the teens, Lavor Booker, took Nickolas under his wing and taught him the fundamentals of football. After a few plays he started to catch on and became more excited about playing with the guys.”

For Nickolas the Club is where to be!

“I can’t wait to jump off the bus every day to come into the Club,” he shared. “I give Ms. Kim my phone and I go have fun with my friends.”

Program Director Mequelle Jones shared that Nickolas’ excitement to be at the Club is a reflection of how youth arrive to the Club.

“Every day he rushes by Ms. Kim, Ms. Sharon, and I to get to the gym. It is funny to watch him speed by us, he says hi and he keeps it moving,” she said. “All of our youth have a special place within the Club they can’t wait to get to and make life-long friends.”
