Our Programs
Academic Success
Our academic programming develops skills, habits, confidence, and a love of learning in a safe, supportive environment. Every young person who walks through our doors is met by skilled and caring Staff mentors who provide the guidance and encouragement they need to succeed and graduate from high school with a plan for the future.

Healthy Lifestyles
A day at Club means healthy snacks, fun fitness activities, and competitive sports to show our members the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of leading healthy lifestyles. We also offer health education programming that encourages and empowers young people to take control of their own well-being, which results in success in school and throughout their lives.

Mental Health
We use evidence-based social-emotional learning (SEL) programs that teach age-appropriate skills including Identifying Emotions, Coping Skills, Healthy Boundaries, and Healthy Relationships Skills. We work through a trauma-informed approach, which means we want our members to feel supported and understood and to feel like they can be themselves, so we foster meaningful relationships.

Character & Leadership
We encourage and support members to develop the strong character and leadership skills that will empower them to make a difference in their communities. We do this by providing mentorship, opportunities for community service, and by recognizing and celebrating excellence.

Life and Workforce Readiness
We want each one every one of our Club Kids to have a plan for life after high school that is achievable, exciting, and aligned with their goals. From the day they start Club to the day they leave, members complete programs, activities, and experiences focused on career awareness, exploration, and preparation.
