Ten years ago, the Salvation Army Boys Club on
Stadium Drive was a predominantly white recreational
facility for youth.

turned the tables. Today, 99 percent of the Salvation
Army's youth membership is black, says its
white executive director, Don Moore. The Stadium
Drive facility is the only Boys Club in the Twin City.

the three-acre site on Stadium Drive in 1952. Moore
jpined the staff as physical director and resident
"floor mopper" 11 years ago, he says.
"I've watched the program go from 99 percent
white," Moore says, "to 99 percent black and the
needs are still the same today as they were when I
first walked in here."
With an estimated annual operating budget of
$200,000, the Boys Club, which occupies the lower
level of a 30,000-square-foot building, serves an
average of 350 boys a year. The buildinc's unner
level houses the Salvation Army Girls Club.
Nintey-three percent of the Boys Club funding is
received from the United Way of Forsyth County.
Moore says the funding is sufficient for the programs
offered, but that, "I would be a fool to say I
couldn't use more."

Moore says his direct involvement with the youth
has been somewhat altered. But,.he says, his concerns
for youth are still the same as they were when
he first joined the Salvation Army staff over a
decade ago.
"It doesn't make any difference to me," Moore
saw among bTacTTicfs
needs as 1 saw among the white kids.
"That's what I've been trained to do ? take care
of the needs of the youth, whether they're black or
white," he says.
"Isee the Boys Club going into the areas oj
citizenship, leadership development, health
education, youth development and delinquency
prevention."
-- Don Moore
There are 25 Boys Clubs throughout the state.
Salvation Army Boys Clubs are located in
Charlotte, Greensboro, High Point, Durham, Burlington,
Wilson and Gastonia. Most of the nation's
Boys Clubs are in predominantly urban areas where
the population is concentrated.
BeSides being a recreational and enrichment program
for youths from all walks of life, Moore says
he sees the nation's Boys Clubs headed in other

Frankie Bordeaux, program director for the Boys

families, but represent the standard rate.
