Our Philosophy
The Club offers programs in five core areas:
- Character and Leadership Development: Kids learn to be leaders through service to their Club and their community. The Club’s programs empower kids to sustain meaningful relationships with others, develop a positive self-image, participate in the democratic process and respect their own and others’ cultural identities.
- Education and Career Development: Kids can explore education and career opportunities with the guidance of mentors and role models. BGCF’s trained staff and quality programs also provide assistance with homework, reinforce math and science skills and teach computer skills.
- Health and Life Skills: Programs are designed to teach kids how to engage in positive behaviors that nurture their own well-being, set and reach personal goals and live successfully as self-sufficient adults.
- The Arts: Kids can express their creativity and talent at the Club. The Club offers programs that include arts and crafts, painting, and numerous other activities.
- Sports, Fitness and Recreation: Kids build not only healthy bodies, but strong character and sportsmanship as well. They can choose from team sports such as basketball, soccer, futsal (indoor soccer), flag football, and t-ball.
