The Girls Clubs are involved in several activities:
- Each Club has a lesson program geared toward that Club’s age range.
- The various Clubs are involved in different service projects, including collecting soups labels for donation to the Smoky Mountain Children’s Home in Sevierville, TN, collecting individual toiletry items for donation to our local church’s Inner City Ministry, collecting magazines for donation to nursing homes and assisted living homes, etc. All the Clubs participate as a group in projects such as visiting a local nursing home to sing Christmas carols and distribute small gifts, etc.
The Clubs have joint fundraisers to raise funds for other service projects, such as donations to missions projects, other church ministry groups, etc.
- Each Club has several social outings and class time social events each year. The entire group attends the State Girls Clubs Jamboree at Camp Utopia in May of each year.
- The girls in each Club have the opportunity to earn points each week by attending meetings, bringing their Bible, wearing their Club shirt, bringing a visitor, participating in service projects, etc.
- At the end of each Club year, the Girls Clubs sponsor a joint Tea. Each Club recognizes its members, recognize the members who will be promoted to a new Club, and recognize the Girl of the Year and two alternates, based on the points earned during the past year.
