Trained, professional staff conduct character development programs that emphasize leadership; education and career exploration; community service; technology training; financial literacy; health and life skills; the arts; sports, fitness and recreation; and family outreach.
OUR INVESTMENT
EMCF invested $25.3 million in Boys & Girls Clubs of America from 2000 to 2012 in support initiatives that advance the effectiveness of programming across its network, including the expansion of Project LEARN to hundreds of affiliates, which has been shown to increase academic achievement and reading ability.
During this period, Boys & Girls Clubs of America also implemented standardized outcome measures across the network, and established the Executive Advanced Leadership Program to develop the skills of local club leaders and senior managers.
