JJ & Kizzy, Taunton Clubhouse members and siblings Kizzy and JJ  began coming to the Club in 2018, and during their time as members, they each explored new interests, learned new life skills, and formed lasting friendships. Most importantly, both Kizzy and JJ have experienced the sense of belonging and acceptance that defines our Club community. 

As a neurodivergent youth, JJ has found that the programs and people at BGCMS encourage and embrace his interests, from drawing in the arts room, to creating music, and exploring his favorite subject of science after school. 

For Kizzy, the Club offers a place where both she and her brother can be themselves and pursue their interests in safe, supportive, and welcoming spaces. She also serves as a lifeguard, swim instructor and camp counselor at BGCMS. And in 2025, Kizzy was also named Youth of the Year!
