What Fairhope-point Clear Rotary Youth Programs, Inc. does

Fairhope-point Clear Rotary Youth Programs, Inc., doing business as "Rotary Youth Club," is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in December 1996 and headquartered at 19128 Young St, Fairhope, Alabama. It delivers youth development services across three integrated programs serving children from pre-K through high school in Fairhope and the broader Baldwin County area: an After School Care program (operating daily starting at 3 PM with Power Hour homework support, art, music, and swim lessons), a Summer Enrichment Camp (a full-day program operating June 1 – July 31, 2026, from 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM), and a state-funded First Class Pre-K program serving 18 four-year-olds daily from 8 AM to 2:30 PM weekdays. The organization is the institutional successor to the Rotary Boys & Girls Club of Baldwin County, having been reorganized as an independent entity in May 2009 when the prior parent organization (Boys & Girls Club of South Alabama) announced closure of the Fairhope facility.

The operating technology stack is intentionally minimal. The organization runs on Brightwheel, a third-party all-in-one SaaS platform used for enrollment forms, parent communications, daily activity updates, and announcements, and uses PayPal for donation processing. No proprietary technology, mobile applications, or AI/ML capabilities are developed in-house. The physical asset is an 11,000+ square-foot gymnasium and activities building expanded in Fall 2017 with a new classroom wing containing a computer lab, three versatile classrooms, an administrative office, and handicap-accessible restrooms; an Impact 100 grant funded critical gymnasium repairs in 2019.

The business model combines three revenue streams: a sliding-scale After School Care fee ($60–$300/month based on family income and household size, plus a $10 registration fee per child), modest program fees for Pre-K ($40/month) and Summer Camp ($900 for the full 2026 summer), and donation/sponsorship income from individuals, businesses, and partner organizations supplemented by government and private grants. Major grants include the $85,000 Alabama First Class Pre-K award in Spring 2017, Impact 100 funding for both expansion and repairs, and ongoing support from Fairhope Single Tax Corporation, the City of Fairhope, and roughly 14 corporate, financial, media, and in-kind sponsors. The organization is governed by a 14-member Board of Directors chaired by Ed Hammele (SmartBank) and led programmatically by Program Director Charles Durgin and PreK Director LaToya Jones.
