Building tomorrow’s leaders, innovators and problem solvers

We know it’s hard to dream about something you haven’t seen, which is why career exploration is key for young people to unlock potential career paths. Many paths lead to great futures–whether it’s trade school, college, military enrollment or straight to a career. Boys & Girls Clubs are kids’ first networks – the place where they meet mentors, hone their skills, ignite their interests and connect to opportunities.

You can help prepare our youth for the future workforce by:

Hosting Field Trips & Workplace Tours
Provide hands-on learning by showing youth real-world work environments.

Leading In-Club Activities & Career Panels
Share your expertise through workshops, presentations, or interactive career-focused activities.
