PRIMARY FUNCTION:
The vision of Boys and Girls Clubs of America is to provide a world-class Club Experience that
assures success is within reach of every young person we serve, on track to graduate high school

potential as productive, caring, responsible adults. Our Board of Directors has further directed
our team to ensure that our Club alumni become distinguished in the community as readily
employable and prepared for success in life. To meet these goals, our programs need to provide
enrichment activities and support beyond what is offered by our school system and our families.
