Boys and Girls Club Mission Statement
"To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens."
The Boys and Girls Club of America is trying to help all youth that need help reach their full potential. The Programs that are put into place are all educational and helpful programs to enrich the youth that come to the clubs. The programs can be about science or cooking and many other subjects. They are changing the youth to becoming productive caring and responsible citizens. They are fulfilling their mission through the programs that they provide for their youth. They also staff youth workers who help the youth grow in these aspects and are always there to support the youth. I think that the organizations theory of change is giving the youth the tools to be the best that they can be. They give them programs that build up them up to become outstanding citizens in their community.
Thanks for your post Jacob. You are starting to make the links between mission, programs, and ToC. I'd like to see you go a bit deeper: how do these programs help young people become caring, responsible citizens (is it pedagogy? content? community?) And how will you know that the program has achieved its aims?
