     OUR BOYS & GIRLS CLUB APPROACH 
In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship.  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.  Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun.

Four key characteristics define the essence of a Boys & Girls Club.  All are critical in exerting positive impact on the life of a child:

1. Dedicated Youth Facility
The Boys & Girls Club is a place – an actual neighborhood-based building – designed solely for youth programs and activities.

2. Open Daily
Many Clubs are open every day, after school and on weekends, when kids have free time and need positive, productive outlets.

3. Professional Staff
Every Club has full-time, trained youth development professionals, providing positive role models and mentors. Volunteers provide key supplementary support.

4. Available/Affordable to All Youth
Clubs reach out to kids who cannot afford, or may lack access to, other community programs.   Annual membership dues are low. 

Boys & Girls Clubs of America has developed many resources to help Clubs provide youth-centered
programming.  These resources offer High-Yield Activities designed to help youth progress toward three outcomes.
  1. Academic Success: Graduate on time, motivated to learn, with a plan to succeed in today’s modern workforce
  2. Healthy Lifestyles: Make healthy lifestyle decisions resulting in social, emotional and physical well-being
  3. Good Character and Citizenship: Develop strong character and take actions that make a difference in the community
