How We Change Lives
Boys & Girls Clubs of America has a lineup of tested and proven nationally recognized programs that address today's most pressing youth issues, teaching young people the skills they need to succeed in life.
Our 5-year plan, Impact 2012 focuses on:
Programs are available in the areas of education, the environment, health, the arts, careers, alcohol/drug and pregnancy prevention, gang prevention, leadership development and athletics.
The Boys & Girls Club of Farmington beleives that four characteristics are critical in exerting a positive influence on the lives of youth:
-
A Dedicated Youth Facility: an actual neighborhood-based building – designed solely for youth programs and activities.
-
Locations are Open Daily: after school and on holidays, when kids have free time and need positive, productive outlets.
-
Professional Staff: full-time and part-time trained youth development professionals, providing positive role models and mentorship.
-
Available and Affordable For All Youth: we reach out to kids who cannot afford, or may lack access to, other community programs. Annual membership is only $15 per year.
