Program areas at Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee

Club members receive programming in six core areas: education, arts, sports & recreation, health & wellness, leadership & service, and social emotional development. With the goal of providing our Club members with an optimal Club experience, each core area is driven by research based curriculums identified by Boys & Girls clubs of america, the department of public instruction, or other intities educationevery child has the right to an education. Education has a direct impact on the quality of a person's life, and by extension, the impact on the quality of the community in which they live. Education provides youth with the foundational skills necessary to transform their lives and gain new opportunities. In Milwaukee today, when the poverty rate is nearly 26%, many children lack access to quality education or necessary academic support, which causes many to fall behind academically.bgcgm's marvan scholars program provides academic support after school at the clubs through the use of research based curricuulm and instructional software that allows each student to work at their own pace and meet the members school time needs. Staff monitor their progress and adjust academic support accordingly. Marvan scholars reflects the clubs' strategic efforts to help our members work toward proficiency in math and reading. In 2022, the program served 8,060 students. Spark early literacy programming served 361 members.the Milwaukee partnership schools program is an innovative partnership between Boys & Girls clubs, Milwaukee public schools, and city year Milwaukee. This initiative is providing necessary support to four mps schools that have bgcgm afterschool programs: alexander mitchell integrated arts school (k-8th grade), rogers street academy (k-8th grade), george Washington carver academy (k-8th grade), and clarke street elementary. Through this collaborative effort, bgcgm has added and aligned support for students in math, reading, attendance, and social-emotional learning during the school day and after-school through small group and one-on-one interventions. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (stem) are essential skills and knowledge for today's youth to build in order to be successful. In a world growing increasingly more dependent on stem related jobs, teachers both in and outside of school are responsible for adequately preparing youth for success in stem related fields. Bgcgm's goal is to expose young people to hands-on stem activities and careers.graduation plus-the clubs' collection of college access and success programs--provides students with academic support services, tutoring, act prep, college tours, college scholarships, career readiness & exploration training, academic advising, financial literacy training, assistance with college applications, leadership lessons and personal development. Grad plus programs include: the bmo scholars, future college scholars, soref scholars, sponsor-a-scholar, and stein scholars. In 2022, more than 800 members (high school and college students) participated in grad plus. The program has 100% high school graduation rate and has graduated close to 700 college undergraduates since its inception. The program also facilitates agency scholarships. Boys & Girls clubs' career development programs help Milwaukee youth learn the skills they need to succeed in the workplace. Through Club programs, members are introduced to a variety of work environments and guest speakers, worksite tours, and hands-on experience as well as career and financial planning assistance. During 2022, through career launch 846 members explored careers and developed work skills through the career launch program, 754 members learned money management, budgeting and financial goals. During the 2022-2023 school year, 140 members developed academic and career plans, 270 members explored careers in youth or human services in preparation to work at the clubs as junior staff, and 290 members participated in social emotional learning program activities.

Artsevery youth that picks up a pen or paintbrush to work through difficult times, or express a feeling of joy, is on the way to becoming a more productive adult. Bgcgm's art programs intentionally use art as a tool to support the voices of youth and provide opportunities for social change. In our own community, the clubs are committed to addressing theshortfall in artistic opportunity by providing youth with a variety of arts activities, field trips, high-quality programs as well as further professional and career-building opportunities for youth who demonstrate interest and talent. In 2022, our arts program focused on dance and movement and music through our moverment matters (1101 members) and notes for notes recording studio (201) programs. Sports & recreationall children deserve access to physical activities that promote healthy habits and lifestyles. Oftentimes certain barriers such as a lack of transportation or the inability to pay, prevent youth living in low-income environments from accessing sports & recreational activities.

Program participants also develop leadership skills and gain opportunities for planning, decision-making, contributing to their Club and community and celebrating our national heritage. The programs offered to youth in our clubs encourage them to take on leadership roles, learn about fundraising and participate in community service.in 2022, members participated in leadership programs where several teens competed in the annual youth of the year statewide competition where we finished as the runner up. Additionally, members participated in gender specific, leadership and community service programs. Health & wellnessadolescence is a crucial time in life, a time for reinventing self-identity and renegotiating relationships with peers, family, and the community. During this time values are re-examined, and hopes and plans for the future are envisioned. More and more, adolescents are left alone to make critical life-altering decisions.
