A Boys and Girls Club in Grand Rapids, Mich., that's been around for more than a century is about to undergo a $4.5 million renovation.

The Paul I.

Seidman Club, built in 1919, is the oldest of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Grand Rapids Youth Commonwealth, which has received a $750,000 state grant and a $6.6 million US grant, Crain's Grand Rapids Business reports.

The first phase of the renovation, to be completed by the end of 2025, will see programming begin in the club while phase two, which will also include an expansion, will see programming begin in the club while the first phase is completed.

"We're seeing a strong need and a lot of trends we see in youth from all corners and backgrounds shows more significant mental health struggles and learning loss from the pandemic, so there is a real need for homework help," says a rep for the organization.

"We've seen children having difficulty in peer-to-peer relationships."
