Information

Website:	http://www.bgca.org
Company Overview:	Boys & Girls Clubs of America works hard every day to make a difference in the lives of youth in communities all over the world. Our Clubs serve some 4.8 million boys and girls, with more than 4,000 Clubs at locations in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands -- and on domestic and international U.S. military bases. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of young people by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and pride.
Mission:	To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
Products:	Young people across the country are facing tough decisions and lacking the proper guidance to shape them into responsible young people. With 30% of American youth not graduating high school in 2006 and 16% of our nation’s youth being overweight, something has to be done – and fast. Why? Because today’s young people are tomorrow’s leaders, and what they learn and experience now will affect all of our lives in the future.

Wow! A place where we can finally communicate with clubs abroad and near. This is a wonderful idea. Indeed for students as well as counselors. Think of it! A place where you can talk to someone and be safe. I love it. I bring the family much love from The Desoto Boys & Girls Club of Manatee County in Bradenton, FL. My Name is Mr. Bell and I am the Teen Director of our club. Our Teen family likes music, Video Games (Halo-Craze & Madden Fanatics- Do we smell competition?) Anywas.. we also are academic driven.

We are called D.T.S 3.0 (Desoto Teen Squad) because the kids made a vow to get 3.0 and higher on their Report Cards. We have a good commitment success including a number of 4.0's and higher.

We also like Drawing, which you will see as we start posting work. Well wow.. We could talk all day about the club and The students can go on all day about what the club means to them. How ever.. It is time to start posting pics.

if ya need any help and we can. just let us know!
