HOLYOKE — There’s not a whole lot to do on a weeknight for teenagers in the city except to play volleyball, basketball, try their hand at painting and grab a free meal or snack.
With the help of the state’s Summer Nights grant programs, the Holyoke Boys & Girls Club will hold outdoor activities every Tuesday and Wednesday evening through August to keep kids in middle and high school off the streets and maybe off their phones a little, said Eileen Cavanaugh, director of the Holyoke Boys & Girls Club.
Gov. Maura T. Healey, with Rebecca Tepper, Energy and Environmental Affairs secretary, and Brian Arrigo, Department of Conservation and Recreation secretary, kicked off the 10th year of the program on Wednesday with a visit to the Holyoke Boys & Girls Club.
