ABOUT BAKER YOUTH CLUB

Mission

To work with the youth of Kosciusko County to shape an educated, healthy, and social identity based on Christian values.

Purpose

Baker Youth Club (BYC) is a local youth development agency that strives to provide quality supervision for the young people in our community. BYC emphasizes education, health, physical fitness and social skills while teaching young people life skills. The staff at BYC takes pride in helping children by providing a structured daily schedule that will teach them discipline, respect, relationship building and other essential components that will help them be successful in life.

OUR TEAM

Executive Director – Tracy Furnivall
Tracy has been serving as Executive Director since 2003.

Tracy and his wife Amy have two children, Alex (spouse Ross) Myers and Trae (spouse Kelly) Furnivall, and six grandchildren. In his spare time, Tracy enjoys spending time with his grandchildren and family, golfing and camping.

Miranda Braddock

Miranda started working for BYC in October of 2011. Miranda oversees a variety of things in her daily work such as checking in children, recording daily activities, and running day-to-day operations. Most importantly, she loves to see the kids’ smiling faces come through the door. Miranda is married to Todd, a Lakeview teacher, and has two children: Easton (5) and Brynlee (2).
