What We Do

Our "Formula for Impact"

Boys & Girls Clubs of America's Formula for Impact is a roadmap for Clubs to help ensure that members achieve our priority outcomes of Academic Success, Healthy Lifestyles, and Good Character & Leadership.

Academic Success

Our programs in Academic Success provide our youth with the support, skills, and resources they need to succeed in the classroom, apply learning to everyday situations, and embrace technology to achieve career success in the future. 


Our education programs are designed to ensure that all Club members graduate from high school on time, ready for a post-secondary education and a 21st Century career.

Healthy Lifestyles

Our Healthy Lifestyles programs develop our members' capacity to engage in positive behaviors that nurture their own well-being, set personal goals, and live successfully as self-sufficient adults. These programs promote holistic wellness by supporting the healthy social, emotional, and physical development of our members by ensuring they stay physically fit, have access to nutritious meals, establish meaningful relationships with peers and adults, and have the tools needed to overcome peer pressure to engage in negative behaviors.

Program participants also develop leadership skills and gain opportunities for planning and decision-making, contributing to our Club and community and celebrating our national heritage.

    When schools are out our Clubs are in!


    Our Summer & Vacation Camps help to develop children into the leaders of tomorrow. During school vacations and summer recess, we offer a well-rounded core group of activities that nurture the unique potential of every child.


    During scheduled school vacations in December, February, and April, our Clubs offers full-day mini camps to our members for an additional fee. During school vacation camps members have access to expanded program offerings and special initiatives!


    Summer Camp is an experience that will last a lifetime - from memories, to friendships, to newfound hobbies. Kids certainly learn a lot about themselves at camp, and according to research, they also gain critical social, emotional, resiliency, and teamwork skills.
