Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Boys & Girls Clubs, Children & Youth
Mission: The mission of the boys & girls clubs of palm beach county is to inspire and assist all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.
Programs: Club youth are offered numerous opportunities to become active in helping their community and their club. Youth can become involved in leadership clubs where they not only gain knowledge of our governmental systems, but organize activities from beach cleanups, feeding programs for the poor, senior citizen center visits, and prevention education.
the 13 clubs of the boys & girls clubs of palm beach county all hire certified teachers who, together with the clubs' program staff, work closely with our youth to help them succeed in school and in life. Programs are designed to provide youth with fun, yet educational programs targeting reading, writing, math and science. Historically, club youth outperform their same school peers, stay in school longer and graduate from high school at a higher rate than the general school population.
providing youth with social skills is essential to their ability to successfully deal with others and transition into caring, responsible and productive adults. By offering youth opportunities to interact with children and adults in a variety of social settings, children learn how to positively engage others. In addition, they are able to participate in games and sports, which are healthy leisure time activities. The club believes youth learn many skills in the game room, which can be transferred to the board room as an adult.
health, physical education, & cultural arts - competitive and non-competitive athletics through individual and team sporting events and leagues; first aid and cpr training.
