TNT [www.tnt.tv], the first and only network dedicated to drama, is proud to partner with Boys & Girls Clubs of America as part of the TNT DramaMatters initiative. TNT DramaMatters provides tools and resources for Club staff, educators and parents to bring the many benefits of drama education to children.

Drama education is a proven method of boosting academics and stimulating youth development. In fact, research shows it can be a powerful teaching tool in core learning areas including language arts, science and math.

Today, 14.3 million children (that’s 1 in 4 kids!) care for themselves after school, and it is during the after-school hours between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. that children are most likely to engage in risky behavior.

TNT DramaMatters is partnering with BGCA to introduce drama education as a powerful tool to stimulate Club member achievement and help them reach their full potential in a safe environment. TNT DramaMatters Afterschool provides Club professionals with fun, age-appropriate drama activities to encourage learning and Club member engagement. Through this exciting partnership, we can help set the stage for success!
