Director Q & A

Q & A with the Executive Director – Douglas Whatley

Why Boys & Girls Club

The Boys & Girls Club is more than a place—it’s a purpose. I chose to work here because I believe in creating spaces where kids feel safe, seen, and celebrated. This Club provides opportunities for young people to discover their potential and grow into confident, caring leaders. Being part of that transformation inspires me every single day.

Who Influenced Me

My mom is my greatest influence. She has this amazing ability to love on people, make them feel seen and heard, and even push them toward greatness without them realizing it. Watching her lead with compassion and encouragement taught me how impactful it is to believe in someone and gently guide them toward their full potential. That’s the kind of influence I strive to have on the kids and teens I work with every day.

Our Club teaches values like kindness, leadership, and resilience—qualities that strengthen not only our members but also their families and neighborhoods. Together, we’re shaping a brighter future.
