Foley & Lardner LLP
As the first law firm to partner with Boys & Girls Clubs of America on a national scale, Foley & Lardner LLP is proud to continue its national partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) through 2027. Over the past three years, Foley has played an active role in inspiring and equipping young people to lead, succeed and make meaningful contributions in their communities.
Driving Impact Through Connection and Opportunity
Foley’s commitment to youth leadership shines through its support of programs and initiatives that open doors for the next generation to thrive. Together, we’ve created unforgettable experiences for Club youth that blend leadership, skill-building, advocacy and community engagement:
- Opening Career Pathways at the Summit for America’s Youth
At BGCA’s annual Summit for America’s Youth, Foley connects directly with teens during the career fair, helping them explore potential futures in law, business and advocacy. By sharing their expertise and personal stories, Foley professionals inspire youth to think boldly about what’s possible. - Bringing Stories to Life Through the Author Series
Foley’s Author Series invites celebrated children’s authors to local Clubs, where they lead interactive readings and discussions. Each young participant leaves with a copy of the book, helping to foster a lifelong love of reading and storytelling. - Building Bridges for Military-Connected Youth
Foley has proudly supported the National Military Youth of the Year program since 2023 by hosting an exclusive gathering for finalists at its Washington, D.C. offices. This event brings together military-connected youth from across the globe, along with Youth of the Year alumni, Club staff and Foley’s Veteran Affinity Group, to celebrate youth leadership, discuss career opportunities and share experiences. - Empowering Youth with Legal Knowledge through Street Law
Foley brings its Street Law program to local Clubs, giving youth the opportunity to learn about the legal system in engaging, practical ways. By teaching real-world skills like understanding contracts, negotiation and advocacy, the program equips young people with tools to navigate life confidently.
A Hands-On Commitment to Boys & Girls Clubs’ Communities Nationwide
Across all 23 U.S. offices, Foley employees bring this partnership to life by engaging with their local Boys & Girls Clubs. From mentoring programs and read-aloud sessions to school supply drives and playground refreshes, Foley’s people are making a difference where it matters most — in the communities we serve.
