Breadth and Expertise

By serving 1,800 kids and teens a year, we have expertise in youth development that’s unsurpassed, and leverage this experience to better serve kids during out-of-school time. Our leadership is also backed by a commitment to providing a high-quality Club Experience in every location, facilitated by caring, trained professionals who understand what it takes to be a voice for young people and draw out their best.

Academic Success

Every person has strengths and gaps when it comes to learning - and it's our job to help kids figure out where their greatest potential lies. Whether though tutoring and homework help, access to technology, college- and career-readiness programs or skill development, Clubs have an outstanding track record of helping young people make academic strides. The success of our programs can be seen by the achievements of our youth, as we guide them along the road to high school graduation, with a solid plan for the future.

The Road to Great Futures

Providing a great Club Experience means we meet youth where they are, and understand what they need to grow and succeed. In doing so, we emphasize four key pillars: Health & Wellbeing, Character & Leadership, Academic Success , Life & Workforce Readiness. These focus areas provide a platform for helping all kids build the skills and relationships needed to achieve a great future.

Character & Leadership

As youth are taught to be productive, caring, responsible citizens through high-quality programs and staff who model good behavior, they are more likely to carry these values with them when they leave the Club. In addition to fostering accountability, we also help young people develop leadership skills, a sense of civic duty and an understanding of the value of giving back to their community.

Commitment to Safety

We work every day to create a safe, fun environment where kids can pursue academic success, good character and citizenship, and a healthy lifestyle - all under the guidance of caring, trained, trustworthy adult leaders. America's young people deserve nothing less than our constant focus on their safety and our firm commitment to protect every child who is entrusted to our care.
