Our Programs

Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling:

A Sense of Competence...
the feeling there is something boys and girls can do and do well.
A Sense of Usefulness...
the opportunity to do something of value for other people.
A Sense of Belonging...
a setting where young people know they "fit" and are accepted.
A Sense of Power of Influence...
a chance to be heard and to influence decisions.

When this strategy is fully implemented, self-esteem is enhanced and an enviroment is created which helps boys and girls achieve their full potential. Our Clubs provide diverse activities that meet the interests of all youth. Recognizing important development principles, our Clubs offer program activities in five areas:
