In every
community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and
companionship
in the streets. An increasing number of children are at
home with no adult care or supervision.
Young people need to know that
someone cares about them.
Boys
& Girls Clubs offer that and more. Club programs and services
promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a
sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.
Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun.
They are truly
"The Positive Place For Kids."
HOW DO CLUBS IMPACT YOUNG PEOPLE
Research shows that Clubs play a key role in reducing
delinquency, increasing academic achievement among youth, and enhancing
their
access to technology and tech skills, as well as increasing career goals and
improving their attitude toward school. Clubs
achieve this
through:
- A safe, supportive environment
- Supportive relationships with peers and adults
- Increased opportunities to learn and develop
- Recognition of achievements
