POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
FORMULA FOR IMPACT
The Five Key Elements for Positive Youth Development are at the center of our work as a Boys & Girls Club. When implemented together and with consistency, the Club meets the developmental needs of youth by providing:
- A safe, positive environment
- Access to fun and a sense of belonging
- Access to supportive relationships
- Meaningful opportunities and expectations
- Formal and informal recognition
These programs are designed to ensure that all Club members graduate from high school on time with a plan for the future. Learn more >>
