The Rotary Club of East Montgomery County welcomed Veronica Sleight, Community Relations Manager for Boys and Girls Country, as this week’s luncheon guest speaker.
Founded in 1971, Boys and Girls Country is a licensed residential home serving children ages 5–18 and young adults 18 and older. Children live on campus in cottages with trained houseparents, attend local public schools, and experience family-style living in a trauma-informed, nurturing environment that supports their physical, emotional, and spiritual growth.
Sleight also highlighted the organization’s College & Career Program, which provides mentorship, financial support, and housing for young adults pursuing college, technical certifications, military service, or careers — ensuring they have continued guidance beyond high school graduation.
Rotary members appreciated learning that Boys and Girls Country provides not just shelter but also a true home and long-term support system for children and young adults in need.
