Specialized Programs

SPECIALIZED PROGRAMS

These initiatives focus on meeting the significant and specific needs identified within Boys & Girls Clubs. Their broad scope complements several or all of our core program areas.


*Please note: We have multiple program offerings available through Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Programs described below consist of the menu of offerings we may provide. Although we run several of these programs and others throughout the year, the list below does not necessarily reflect the programs that are currently being ran. 

Club Tech helps young people develop the technology skills necessary to succeed in school and in the job market. This initiative provides all Boys & Girls Clubs with state-of-the-art software; a comprehensive array of programs to help Club professionals build members’ computer skills and integrate technology in all Core Program Areas. Club Tech helps Clubs incorporate technology in every aspect of their operations. 

Myclubmylife.com is Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s website to reach and inspire teens. The site provides an engaging digital platform that connects teens to life-changing programs, valuable resources and unique opportunities.  Website content is always appropriate for teens, and is designed to help educate teens about career and education opportunities, healthy living, finances and much more in fun, interactive ways. Contests, recognition opportunities and social media integration provide other means to meaningfully engage teens.

Through a comprehensive set of interventions, the Youth for Unity program aims to promote and celebrate diversity while combating prejudice, bigotry and discrimination. Youth for Unity features age-appropriate programming for youth ages 6 to 12, teens and parents; training and resources for Club professionals; and a leadership awards program. The program builds the capacity of local Clubs to help their members appreciate themselves as unique and special individuals, understand diversity in society, recognize bias and unfairness and take personal leadership in confronting bias.

The Family PLUS initiative enables Clubs to partner with families and collaborate with other community agencies to ensure the positive development of youth through programming, resources and support. 

The Latino Outreach Initiative provides Clubs with effective strategies to reach, serve and empower Latino youth and families.

This community-based initiative targets young people ages 6 to 18 that are at high risk for involvement or are already involved with delinquency and gangs.
