STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Programs
Our Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education programs provide our members with an integrated, experiential approach to learning and applying concepts which will prepare them to solve complex problems today and in the future. The ultimate goal of our STEM programming is to help meet the educational needs of our members by supplementing and reinforcing what they learn during the school day.
High-Yield activities are a staple of our STEM education programs and are designed to pique our members' interest in STEM topics through fun, hands-on experiments, nature walks, hydroponic gardening, weather observation and measurements, simple chemistry projects, and more.
Members who express a particularly keen interest in these programs can join our
STEAM Team, where they have the opportunity to work in smaller groups on more involved projects over extended periods of time in our state-of-the-art STEM Labs.
SkillTech is a BGCA nationally developed program aimed at familiarizing members with technology, particularly the use of computers and the basic software skills that are necessary to excel in school and in the modern workplace.
Our Robo Tech and Immersion Learning programs engage our youth in the exciting worlds of robotics and marine biology through immersive multimedia and team-based missions.

Many of our Academic Success programs are designed specifically to service teen members and are implemented in our dedicated Teen Centers which are open to members ages 13-18.
As members transition to high school they received additional support in researching their options for the future and applying to college or trade schools and in preparing to enter the workforce. In addition to assisting members with completing college essays and applications, our staff of teen-focused youth development professionals take members on college tours and help with applying for financial aid and scholarships.
Our Youth Jobs program helps teen members acquire the necessary skills for entering the workforce, from professional etiquette to resume writing and interview practice. After completing the educational training component of the Youth Jobs program, members are placed in jobs in the community or at the Club to help them gain real-life work experience.
Our Money Matters financial literacy program provides our teen members with the
knowledge and skills they need to form positive financial habits and become fiscally responsible and successful young adults. The program uses interactive activities to help educate members about topics such as budgeting, managing a checking account, investing, saving, and paying for college.
Our Diplomas 2 Degrees college readiness program assists Club members as they work toward high school graduation and prepare for post-secondary education and career success.
