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. We truly are “The Positive Place For Kids.” Learn more or donate at www.bgcpda.org.
Here are a few of the impacts:
88% of Club members’ teachers say Club members’ behavior has improved;
97% of Club members’ parents say their children learned how to set goals;
85% of Club members’ parents say Club services help them hold a job; and
88% of Club members’ teachers notice Club members care more about learning.
