America's young people need our help. Too many children and teens are not receiving the guidance they need to graduate from high school, to avoid the effects of violence, gangs and drugs or to become responsible adults. The statistics on high school dropout rates, obesity and violence among youth are staggering.
Each of us can play a vital role in helping young people overcome these obstacles and achieve their dreams no matter what their circumstance. At Boys & Girls Clubs, we believe every child has the potential to BE GREAT.
Clubs nationwide work with 166,000 adult program volunteers.
