ORLANDO - It’s a routine late Thursday afternoon for a few dozen kids in Orlando. Their school session is over for the day, but the learning and confidence-building is continuing at the Jacqueline Bradley and Clarence Otis Branch Boys and Girls Club just down the street from Camping World Stadium.
Upon arrival, they are each given an itinerary. Some of the students are starting out in the cafeteria, where they are provided a nutritious meal. Others are in an art studio to draw and color, which helps them destress. Another dozen kids or so are in the space next door working on STEM education projects.
