Introducing ‘The Club’, Boys & Girls
Clubs’ newest Teen Initiative. This new
initiative is a key part of Boys & Girls
Clubs of America’s efforts to continue
programming into the middle school ages.
Targeted
specifically to young people, ages
13-16, the new brand speaks to middle
school teens across the country as it
provides programs for Homework
assistance, Athletics, the Arts,
Community Service, and Technology.
Using professionally trained Club staff,
The Club, offers a safe, positive place
for middle school kids to go after
school.
Come see our new program,
located at the Teen Center (located two
doors north of the Main Club in downtown
Bellevue)!

free practice room available for teen
bands and musicians by appointment only.

Music Advisory
Every
other Wednesday from 6 - 8 pm, beginning
September 10th, Ground Zero hosts a
Music Advisory Meeting. This is a place
for interested teens to share new music,
new show ideas and learn about their
local music scene. This is a great way
to get started volunteering at local
shows and to network with other
like-minded individuals. You will learn
about promotion, recording, show
staffing and be exposed to new local and
non-local music. Internships are
available. Please email Malia at
groundzerobooking@gmail.com for more info.

Concert Information
"Ground
Zero hosts some of
the best
up-and-coming rock
bands in a converted
house across the
street from Bellevue
Square," says
Seattle Times writer
Tom Phalen. Using
the old church
auditorium, the teen
center sets the
stage for all bands
nearly every
weekend. The
completely
soundproof room with
a state-of-the-art
built-in sound
system gives youth a
safe place to hang
out and hear great
bands on Saturday
nights.
