Minnesota Boys & Girls Clubs

Boys & Girls Clubs deliver significant value — not only for Club members but for society as a whole, according to a new study "The Social and Economic Benefits of Boys & Girls Clubs," conducted by Ecotone Analytics GBC. For every $1 invested, Boys & Girls Clubs generate $10.32 in economic benefits for members, their families and communities. This value is driven by enhanced youth academic performance, improved youth health and well-being, and increased caregiver earnings. 🌍📈 Supporting Boys & Girls Clubs is one of the best ways to secure a great future for our youth.

Exciting news! Our ALL STARS program, developed in partnership with Buffalo Wild Wings, was nominated for an ESPY Award. The program has given more than 2.3 million youth the chance to be a part of a team at thousands of local Boys & Girls Clubs across the nation. Coaching within the ALL STARS program is anchored in principles of participation, inclusion, and youth development. ALL STARS isn't about trophies, but it's good to know we've got the sauce when it comes to building award-worthy programs! Learn more about this year's nominees: https://lnkd.in/gKG9axN7
