Boys and Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley

Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley (bgctnv) provides a wide variety of programs designed to meet the needs of today's youth and their families. There are three priority outcomes to fulfill the mission: (1) academic enrichment, (2) healthy lifestyles, and (3) good character and citizenship. To support youth developing positive, lifelong practices in each of these fields, a variety of programs are shared with youth to develop their character, opinions, and experiences. These programs, which are research and empirically based, are presented to youths in small group or one-on-one sessions.many academic enrichment programs offered by bgctnv are based on department of education guidelines and funding. the majority of Clubs implement 21st century community learning center grants for youth who are academically at-risk. Through the 21st century grants, Clubs focus on tutoring, homework help, and enrichment games and activities to support learning. Local teachers with youth registered at Clubs reported that their students who received support with homework had fewer mistakes, with notable impact on math and reading skills. the project learn strategy is a developed technique, researched by the Boys & Girls Clubs of america, to combine regular school based topics with the added ingredient of fun within the Clubs.
