Amber Barnes, unit director for the Jack, Will and Rob Boys & Girls Club in Camas, talks about an upcoming remodel of the teen room into a high-tech STEM area. The club was awarded a free remodel from Samsung, plus $25,000 for programs associated with the space.

Thanks to a grant from Samsung and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, local students will have access to technology tools in a comfortable, safe environment after school lets out for the day.

The Jack, Will and Rob Boys & Girls Club in Camas recently was awarded the $25,000 grant for a new technology center. It is one of 10 clubs in the United States selected for the honor.
