MISSION - WHAT WE DO
Our Mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. This mission is accomplished through our after school, summer enrichment, and sports programs at nine separate Clubs in Davidson and Williamson County. In everything we do, our programs and activities instill in Club members four things: a sense of competence--they can do something and do it well; a sense of usefulness--whatever they are doing, it is of value and worthy of their time; a sense of belonging--each child feels they are special and are part of something significant; and a sense of power/influence--the knowledge that their voices will be heard and that they too can influence their environment.
VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS
The Boys & Girls Clubs is primarily a prevention program for the many problems that are facing society. Through our programs and services, we seek to prevent juvenile crime, teen pregnancy, high school dropout, drug and alcohol usage, and many other ailments that are a detriment to our young people. Our programs are designed to offer hope and opportunity to those youth who need us most...the hope there is something better for them but also the opportunity to go after the dreams. Through ongoing relationship with caring adult professionals (staff & volunteers) youth enter the Boys & Girls Club knowing they are in a safe place to learn and grow, and will be engaged in life-enhancing programs with character development experiences. For many of our Club members, the Boys & Girls Club is their home.
SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT
Education and Career Development: Enables youth to become proficient in basic educational disciplines, apply learning to everyday situations, and embrace technology to achieve success in a career. Character and Leadership: Empowers youth to support and influence their Club and community, sustain meaningful relationships with others, develop a positive self-image, participate in the democratic process, and respect their own and others' cultural identities. Health and Life Skills: Develops young peoples' capacity to engage in positive behaviors that nurture their own well-being, set personal goals, and live successfully as self-sufficient adults. Sports, Fitness and Recreation: Develops fitness, positive use of leisure time, skills for stress management, and appreciation for the environment and social skills. Such examples include the Reviving Baseball in Inner-cities (RBI). RBI is a program dedicated to teach the fundamentals of America's favorite sport...baseball. RBI reaches out to youth who desires to play team sports. Baseball for LIFE is our them that we promote with our youth. The Arts: Enables youth to develop their creativity and cultural awareness through knowledge and appreciation of the visual arts, crafts, performing arts, and creative writing.
