Lauren teaches at the Ludlow Community Center/Randall Boys & Girls Club.

For over 70 years, the Ludlow Community Center/Randall Boys & Girls Club has served as the town of Ludlow’s main resource for life-enhancing youth programs and activities. The Club operates 51 weeks a year, 7 days a week, serving members from Ludlow as well as surrounding communities in Hampden and Hampshire counties. The Club provides a broad range of programs in five core program areas: Character and Leadership Development; Education and Career Development; Health and Life Skills; The Arts; and Sports, Fitness and Recreation; and several specialized initiatives, based on community need. Programs are designed to drive positive outcomes for youth and reinforce critical life skills.

Housed in a 38,000 sq. ft building that opened its doors in 2002, the Club has a unique public/private model and prides itself on also operating as a community center that serves adults too. With over 60 youth development, fitness, and aquatics programs, in addition to a series of community events throughout the year, the Ludlow Community Center/Randall Boys & Girls Club is truly a place that offers something for everyone.
