Our Impact

Boys & Girls Clubs of Bartow County offers tested, proven and nationally recognized programs in five Core Program Areas that closely align with the developmental needs of all young people:

• Character and Leadership Development
• Education and Career Development
• Health and Life Skills
• The Arts
• Sports, Fitness and Recreation

We also undertake specialized initiatives that cut across more than one program area and/or address the unique needs of special populations.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Bartow County’s programs are designed to encourage Club members to realize a wide variety of positive outcomes, a strategy for developing the “whole child.” In recent years, the Boys & Girls Club Movement has focused additional efforts on helping children and teens achieve in our three priority outcome areas of Academic Success, Good Character and Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles.

We are committed to following our roadmap for ensuring that young people have a positive, impactful Club Experience and, ultimately, achieve the important outcomes that lead them to great futures.
