 Helping
Kids BE GREAT!
In 2008, Boys & Girls Clubs achieved great things by making a positive impact in
communities around the world. Recognizing the challenges young people face, we
launched a five-year strategic plan that focuses on three key outcomes for our
youth: academic success, healthy lifestyles, and good character and citizenship.
The theme of this year's annual report, BE GREAT, emphasizes youth advocacy and
demonstrates how Clubs help kids be their best. We are so grateful for the
support of our donors, volunteers, parents and friends and hope each takes pride
in the achievements detailed in our 2008 Annual Report.
