Program Pillars
Our evidence-based programming is tailored to the ages, needs, and interests of the youth we serve to best foster personal and professional development.
Our programming focuses on four Program Pillars: Academic Success, Health & Wellness, Character & Leadership, and Life & Workforce Readiness to help build a well-rounded individual. As a part of the Boys & Girls Club of America National Movement, BGCLC implements evidence-based programming that is developed to meet the needs of our local Club members and reflect best practices in our field. BGCLC also develops our own localized programming to ensure that our organization is responsive to and a refection of our local community. To learn more about each of our pillar areas please read below.
