This year, in lieu of a traditional admission gift, Puget Sound's Office of Admission is making a donation on behalf of each of our admitted students to one of five local community organizations: Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound, Tacoma Community House, Rebuilding Hope! Sexual Assault Center for Pierce County, Nourish Pierce County, and Citizens for a Healthy Bay. In this five-part miniseries, Remake the World, PS: The Puget Sound Podcast has partnered with the Office of Admission to introduce you to these community partners and their important work.

Today's episode is focused on Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound, an organization that seeks to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Elena is joined in this episode by Darren Zemanek, a member of the Board of Governors, and Christy Garner, Director of Operations.

We hope you'll keep learning about Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound. Remember, admitted students can choose a nonprofit organization for Puget Sound to support on their behalf at pugetsound.edu/remake. Please subscribe to the Puget Sound Podcast to ensure that you keep up with all five of our features as we release them throughout the spring.
