The Hicksville Youth Council's Boys and Girls Club (HYCBGC) would like to cordially invite the children and adolescents of the community to join the council's summer programs.

HYCBGC has scheduled several fun and exciting field trips for all ages, including a scheduled trip at least once a week for the kids to participate in. Trips to Six Flags Great Adventure, Splash Splash, shows in Manhattan and baseball games are just a few of the many trips that will be offered this summer. Other recreational activities include barbecues, dance classes, beach days, open mic's and a variety of other activities to participate in.

At the council, adolescents can take advantage of our employment program, which enables teenagers to find appropriate job placement according to their age, availability and previous experience. A wide range of babysitting opportunities for those teens looking for a little extra summer cash or for the parents who could use the extra help are also available.

HYCBGC is designed to provide the youth of our community with guidance, awareness and positive options for the future in a safe and supervised environment. Those interested in joining should contact the recreational coordinator at 822-KIDS or 822-7594 or stop by 79 West Old Country Road in Hicksville.
