Q5id Guardian

Q5id Guardian will directly support Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s efforts to further strengthen safety policies, procedures, and leadership at the local Club level via development of leadership training and the premier sponsorship of the Safety Summit.

The safety of young people is a top priority.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America continues to embody a “whatever it takes to build great futures” approach. This motto not only drives a world-class Club experience; it also inspires Club leaders and surrounding communities in their service of America’s youth. Now this motto also serves as the foundation of the national partnership between Q5id Guardian and BGCA.

In the summer of 2022, Q5id Guardian made a commitment to support BGCA’s efforts to further strengthen safety policies, procedures, and leadership at the local Club level. With Q5id Guardian’s help, BGCA is developing a safety management program that will train Club leaders and mentors to develop and implement a safety model that addresses real-life challenges through transformational approaches. Additionally, Q5id Guardian will sponsor the Pacific Region’s Youth of the Year celebration and serve as the premier sponsor of BGCA’s annual Safety Summit.

Safety Leadership Training Program

The Q5id Guardian app and community are committed to bringing missing youth home safely, thus ensuring a bright future full of opportunity. Q5id Guardian will not only help protect the youth who rely on the Clubs but will also work with BGCA to develop a safety leadership training program. This program will equip Club leadership with the necessary knowledge and skills to facilitate the best, safest Club experience. The goal of this program is to help Club leaders and mentors expand their safety management skills by implementing a model that enables them to address real-life challenges through transformational approaches.

Impact on Kids

Through partnering with Samsung, we expanded access to the DIY STEM program and developed the Climate Superstars Challenge. The DIY STEM program serves as the entry-point for all members' STEM learning experience at Clubs and provides youth exposure to STEM through five modules: Energy and Electricity, Engineering Design, Food Chemistry, Aeronautics and the Science of Sports: Football. Climate Superstars aims to encourage youth to raise awareness about climate change and motivate them to take actions that help protect the environment.

Samsung's partnership enables interactive, hands-on learning while providing students with new perspectives on STEM careers and access to the latest technology. In addition, our partnership with Samsung goes beyond our programs and includes cause marketing initiatives that help promote awareness and drive donations for the organization. Through exclusive access to unique experiences such as the Las Vegas Galaxy Studio pop-up with singer Kelly Rowland and music producer and artist DJ Marshmello and a Winter Wonderland video production featuring YouTube star Casey Neistat, Samsung helps expand their understanding of STEM and encourages them to be the next generation of creators and innovators.
