Agenda for America’s Youth

Solutions and policies that will have the greatest impact on our youth.

Together we can be champions for youth, ensuring that no matter where a kid is from or the circumstances that surround them, don’t determine their access positive experiences and opportunities that enable success in life.

Out-Of-School Time

 Clubs across the country provide over 4 million young people with a safe place, caring adult mentors, fun and friendship, and high-impact youth development programs on a daily basis during critical non-school hours.

Safer Childhoods

Boys & Girls Clubs are committed to supporting communities & local Clubs ensure the safety of all youth especially during out-of-school time when statistics show youth violence escalates in communities. 

Health & Wellness

 Our programs help youth engage in positive behaviors that nurture their well-being. Club members learn how to manage stress, demonstrate good teamwork, eat well, and keep physically fit. 

Education, Workforce & Leadership

Clubs equip youth with the soft and hard skills they need to succeed in the workforce and create access to partnerships for real-life experiences to explore career options. 

Equity & Inclusion

When every young person has access to out-of-school time opportunities, when they’re safe and healthy and when they have essential skills, that is how we can ensure equity and inclusion.
