Dollar Tree
Dollar Tree and Boys & Girls Clubs of America empower youth at Boys & Girls Clubs to create positive change in their communities. Working together, they provide young people with the resources, opportunities and support to become the next generation of leaders and changemakers.
Serving the Same Communities
Both Dollar Tree and Boys & Girls Clubs of America serve many of the same communities and share a common belief: every child should have access to opportunities that help them reach their full potential. Together, they are dedicated to inspiring Boys & Girls Club members to raise their voice on issues that matter to them most.
It’s Time to Create Change
Dollar Tree’s investment in Boys & Girls Clubs of America largely supports the Think, Learn, Create Change (TLC) model at local Boys & Girls Clubs.

At Summit for America’s Youth, youth and advisors will experience our nation’s capital, hear from inspirational leaders, explore careers in government and public service and connect with fellow youth advocates from other Boys & Girls Clubs.
