Our Formula for Impact
Research shows that kids are more likely to thrive when they have access to a 1) a safe, positive environment; 2) fun; 3) supportive relationships 4) opportunities and expectations and; 5) recognition. When you layer in high-yield learning activities, targeted programs and regular attendance, the Club experience can life-changing.
Our Priority Outcomes
We aim to prepare youth to graduate from high school ready for college, trade school, the military or employment. We want members to become engaged citizens with strong character, and we want them to make healthy lifestyle choices. Each year, members participate in a survey that helps us evaluate whether our programs are promoting those outcomes.
