Our education programs are designed to ensure that all Club members graduate from high school on time, ready for a post-secondary education and a plan for their future.

Students do much better in school when they spend their non-school hours engaged in fun, but academically beneficial, activities. Our staff uses all the areas and programs in the Club to create opportunities for these high-yield learning activities, including:

• Leisure reading
• Writing activities
• Discussions with knowledgeable adults
• Homework assistance
• Computer science
• Financial literacy
• Digital support
• Tutoring
• Games that develop young people’s cognitive skills
• Workforce readiness

We incorporate life skills training in our education programs, as well. Teens learn how to set goals, budget, save and invest. In addition to staff-led sessions, young people practice their financial decision-making skills through fun, engaging digital tools and games.

The Club emphasizes parent involvement as well as collaboration between Club and school professionals.

Kids and teens who regularly attend Boys & Girls Clubs perform better academically and are more likely to avoid risky behaviors and attend school consistently.
