About us.
And it's our job to nurture their potential.
Our mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
We nurture the enormous, equal potential inside every young person by providing access to experiences and opportunities that change kids' lives for the better– regardless of their socio-economic status, color of their skin, or other factors that contribute to inequity in the U.S. today.
When kids have Clubs, everyone wins.
Feel safer at the Club than other places they spend their time
Feel like their ideas count at the Club
Say they have at least two Club adults they could turn to in a crisis
Say there is a staff member who always wants them to do their best
Say there is a staff member in the Club who believes they will be a success
