For a lot of kids, the Boys and Girls Club is really a sanctuary, an oasis of sanity and safety for them because their home life is so tragic. Some of these kids have only one parent, and that one is addicted to drugs.

Meaning of the quote

The Boys and Girls Club is a safe place for many young people whose home lives are really difficult. Some of these kids only have one parent, and that parent has a problem with drugs. The club is like a peaceful and calm place where they can feel secure and at peace, away from the troubles they face at home.
