Supportive Relationships What Your Dollar Means
Dear Friends of Boys & Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore, On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, and all the Club members, I would like to thank you for your continuous support to make Boys & Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore a Beacon of Hope for Muskegon County youth. You have allowed us to dream bigger. 2018 saw the pilot of BGCML’s newest program: Adventure Sports. Thanks to numerous partnerships, opportunities were provided for hundreds of youth across the County to receive swim lessons, visit the beach, learn to kayak and paddleboard, travel on bike trips, stay at summer camps, and learn the basics of kitesurfing. 2018 also led to deeper partnerships with the Michigan Department of Education. In September 2018, BGCML once again received the opportunity to expand and serve the youth who need us most. This competitive funding provided a portion of the operating costs necessary to provide year-round lowcost academic and cultural enrichment programs five days a week at selected partner schools. The Muskegon Covenant Academy Teen Zone was formed, and two 21st Century Community Learning Centers are now hosted by BGCML: one at Muskegon Covenant Academy, and one at Muskegon Heights Academy. Since opening its doors on April 20th, 2015, the Club has accomplished great feats thanks to support from community members like you. From the original 30 youth served, BGCML served over 1,200 youth in 2018 at three year-round Club sites and 3 additional seasonal summer park sites. Our mission is to inspire and enable all youth, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive and caring citizens. At our Clubs, we are committed to investing in the youth of Muskegon County, and we take pride in the impact these programs have. We recognize it takes the entire community to ensure the success of our young people, and we invite you to visit us anytime to share your time, your talent, and your treasure, to help our members achieve great futures. Thank you for your investment in the future of Muskegon County,

To be the beacon of hope & light to over 1,000 youth, each day. Through teamwork, dedicated staff and volunteers cultivate a “Culture of Cool� by offering age appropriate and dynamic programming, easily accessible to any youth, ages 6-18 within the Muskegon County area.

who we serve
Boys & Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore seeks to ensure that all kids, especially those who need us most, have a positive and enriching experience when the school bell rings, putting them on the path to success. The out-of-school hours serve as the essential link between school and home, offering the greatest opportunity to influence the future of Muskegon area kids, our communities, and our country.
Tomorrow, 11.3 million kids (1 out of 5) in America will leave school with no place to go. Those youth risk being unsupervised, unguided, and unsafe. However, Boys & Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore does not just serve a specific demographic or statistic. BGCML serves Muskegon County area youth who will become the future community advocates, presidents of the United States, inspired entrepreneurs, all-star athletes, talented artists, and everyday heroes.

“we all need to participate in the ‘village’ effort of raising our children – engaging them today and teaching them how to build a community for tomorrow. There is no better group to facilitate this than the Boys & Girls Club” -emma torresen & frank peterson
the club experience
An optimal Club Experience is one in which members feel safe, both physically and emotionally, have fun, receive support and recognition from caring adults who set expectations for them, and have a sense of belonging. For more than 4 years, Boys & Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore has delivered life-changing services to the youth of Muskegon County. Today, over 2,000 youth who are at risk and in need are taking advantage of the programs, activities, and services provided by the Club. We know that an optimal Club Experience and supportive relationships with caring adult professionals connect youth to the Club and help assure that members participate frequently and stay engaged through high school. In 2004-05 BGCA partnered with the Search Institute on a comprehensive study that aimed to identify core Club practices that are instrumental to fostering high-quality youth development. The research yielded 62 strategies and hundreds of practices. These were ultimately synthesized into Five Key Elements for Youth Development and became central to our federations theory of change and approach.
01
SAFE & POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT A safe haven, free of judgment & bullying by minimizing risk.
02
04
FUN & SENSE OF BELONGING
03
MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES
Breaking down boundaries & building trust = learning, success, & giving back.
SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS
Youth are expected to develop a strong moral compass & try new experiences.
Youth forge friendships with peers & sta, through mutual respect.
05
FORMAL & INFORMAL RECOGNITION Acknowledge youths strengths through authentic gestures & words of praise.
academic success
As the world becomes even more interconnected, it is more critical than ever for our young people to develop the skills needed to compete in a global economy. Schools are a critical part of the “education equation.” Parents and family members are also integral to children’s success. There is, however, a third and often overlooked, crucial component of academic success: community-based organizations that can serve as partners in providing access to the programs and resources that both youth and families need to succeed. BGCML is uniquely positioned to make a significant difference in the Academic Success of Muskegon County youth in blending the lines between school and home. When young people enjoy school and feel a sense of accomplishment, they are more likely to finish school and go on to post-secondary education or additional job training- and to become the lifelong learners we want them to be. The academic success programs are designed to ensure that all Club members graduate from high school on time, ready for a post-secondary education and a 21st-century career.

Exposure to science, technology, engineering and math is critical during the tween years, when young persons’ natural curiosity drives interest and builds capacity for success in these disciplines
Project Learn reinforces the academic enrichment and school engagement of young people during the time they spend at the Club. Students do much better in school when they spend their non-school hours engaged in fun, but academically beneficial, activities. Through Project Learn, Club staff use all the areas and programs in the Club to create opportunities for these high-yield learning activities, including leisure reading, writing activities, discussions with knowledgeable adults, helping others, homework help, tutoring and games that develop young people’s cognitive skills. Project Learn also emphasizes parent involvement as well as collaboration between Club and school professionals. LEGO Robotics - developed to engage and motivate elementary age Club Members’ interest in learning science and engineering-related subjects through the use of motorized LEGO models and simple programming. The curriculum facilitates and supports a clear, easy-to-follow journey through hands-on projects covering science topics such as life-, physical-, earth- and space sciences, and engineering and technology. This unique combination of the LEGO brick, classroom-friendly software, and inspiring, standards-based science projects results in a resource that supports a hands-on “minds on” learning solution. This learning solution gives BGCML Members the confidence to ask questions and the tools to find the answers and to solve real-life problems.
Summer learning losses can stack up from year to year, causing low-income children to fall further and further behind, ultimately endangering their chances of high school graduation. Each Summer BGCML combats summer learning loss with Summer Brain Gain - a summer learning loss prevention program comprised of one-week modules with fun, themed activities for elementary school, middle school and high school students that are aligned with common core anchor standards. As a result, kids develop higher-order thinking skills through the Summer Brain Gain modules while staying on track for the coming school year.
good character and leadership Boys & Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore’s focus is to foster a new generation of leaders, fully prepared to live and lead in a diverse, global and integrated world economy. BGCML empowers young people to support and influence their community, sustain meaningful relationships, develop a positive self-image, participate in the democratic process, and respect their own and others cultural identities. In addition to providing educational programming, BGCML offers opportunities to teach youth to be caring, concerned citizens. It isn’t enough to just teach teens about character – it needs to turn into habit so it can become a part of their core. If a youth can feel self-confident, we believe it will help them become Muskegon’s community leaders. In the 21st-century world and workplace, leadership skills such as communication, goal-setting and teamwork are essential for everyone - especially young people preparing to meet the challenges of adolescence and adulthood. BGCML focuses on acknowledging and making Club members aware of their own leadership abilities. Unlike many BGCML programs, which are implemented in two or three months of dedicated time, programs focusing on character development are most commonly run on an ongoing basis over the course of a year. Engaging in various leadership experiences is an important part of these programs.

BELIEVE THEY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY
“I assumed The Club would be boring, but the moment I walked in I was embraced with open arms and warm smiles. I met some of my best friends on the first day at BGCML. The Boys & Girls Club has made a tremendous difference in my life since the first day I joined, and I’m very thankful.” -asia hughes 2018 youth of the year boys & girls club of the muskegon lakeshore
BGCML Youth of the Year program has served as the premier development and recognition program for 4 years. Youth of the Year contestants participate in a series of written assignments, interviews and presentations throughout the year. YOY Winners exemplify our mission and are proof to the impact Clubs make in transforming and saving thousands of kids’ lives in Muskegon County. Youth of the Year winners have gone on to achieve success in a variety of areas, and have become productive and caring citizens.
Studies show that young people who engage in service do better in school, maintain positive relationships with adults and avoid risky behaviors. These students are also less likely to drop out of high school and more likely to graduate than their peers who do not serve. Million Members, Million Hours of Service gets Club youth from across the nation participating in volunteer and service projects that help them become successful and productive citizens.
These unique programs provide leadership development opportunities for youth to participate in activities, both in and out of the Club, in numerous focus areas. Where Keystone Club focuses on teens in areas of academic success, career preparation and community service, Torch Club focuses on special character development needs of younger adolescents (preteens) at a critical stage in their life. With the guidance of an adult advisor, Keystone and Torch Clubs aim to positively impact peers, their Club and local communities.

healthy lifestyles Obesity is a serious health concern not only locally but nationally, affecting children and adolescents at staggering rates. Boys and Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore addresses at-risk youth holistically by programming that assists education, character, and nutritional needs. The approach incorporates healthy living and active learning into every part of the Club Experience, from the gym to the learning area to the arts and crafts area. Healthy Lifestyle programs utilize informational and experiential learning activities in a small-group setting, allowing members to develop healthy attitudes and behaviors about nutritional eating and physical fitness. These programs supports Club members in making positive decisions about their well-being.

PHYSICALLY ACTIVE 5+ DAYS/WEEK
Healthy Lifestyle programming helps members build skills related to fitness and positive lifestyle changes. These programs demonstrate how eating smart, keeping fit and forming positive relationships add up to overall healthy wellbeing. Activities like daily fitness challenges give youth at every age the chance to play longer and harder at different games – from jumping rope to basketball and creating games of their own. Club staff measure the results on three levels: the amount of time – day to day – that youth participate in these activities, the knowledge that physical fitness is an essential part of life, and changes in behavior that will last a lifetime. These elements promote fun with a purpose, physical fitness and skill acquisition year round in a non-competitive, yet challenging, environment.
for over a decade, the overall obesity rate across the nation of youth ages 2 to 19 has held steady at 17%.
96% of bgcml club members believe if they try their best, they can do most things. 95% of bgcml club members feel like they belong at the club.
Triple Play is a dynamic wellness program that demonstrates how eating right, keeping fit and forming positive relationships add up to a healthy lifestyle. The program consciously incorporates three key components; The Mind, Body & the Soul. POSITIVE ACTION is an evidence-based curriculum used by BGCML that is designed to teach youth to consciously use their positive thoughts, actions, and feelings to improve how they think about themselves, what they are doing and how they treat others. With this awareness, young people will have the tools to overcome the many challenges they face today, as they are motivated to engage in positive behaviors and actions to create a better world for themselves and everyone else in it. Passport to Manhood represents a targeted effort to engage young boys in discussions and activities that reinforce character, leadership and positive behavior. Each participant receives a “passport” to underscore the notion that he is on a personal journey of maturation and growth. Each of the program’s 14 sessions use interactive activities to focus on a specific aspect of character and manhood. It also includes service projects where boys learn the importance of giving back to the community. SMART Girls helps girls develop toward healthy attitudes, using a small-group health, fitness, prevention/education and self-esteem enhancement program designed to meet the developmental needs of girls in three age groups, spanning ages 8 to 18. Through dynamic sessions, participatory activities, field trips and mentoring opportunities with adult women, Club girls explore their own and societal attitudes and values as they build skills for eating right, staying physically fit, getting good health care and developing positive relationships with peers and adults.
supportive relationships Staff members and volunteers demonstrate warmth, encouragement, caring, appreciation, acceptance, and proper guidance in their ongoing interactions with Club youth. It is our goal for Club professionals and volunteers to regularly establish and reinforce high expectations for members. They encourage and coach members to reach their full potential and positively reinforce their efforts. In turn, Members learn how to build healthy relationships with adults and peers based on trust and mutual respect. When adult staff and volunteers proactively cultivate and maintain personal relationships, BGCML can ensure that every young person feels connected to one or more adult staff and forges friendships with peers. We are here 219 days out of the year to give youth a consistent, safe, & positive place to go, and recognize we cannot do this work by ourselves; collaboration is key to the success of our youth.
“carl buechner said it best, ‘they may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.’ ” -joshua stinger, bgcml adventure sports director
child
When youth join Boys & Girls Clubs of the Muskegon Lakeshore, it gives them something priceless, and for many, a place to call home. Regardless of a child’s background or surroundings, Club Members find stability behind our Club’s doors. For many, the Club provides positive, caring relationships with adults who show them that their present did not have to dictate their future. Ultimately, youth get the encouragement which pushes them to excel.
business
Supporting BGCML has numerous benefits, but the most important one is giving back to the community where we all live, work and play. Local businesses who support the Club with their time, talent or treasure do not just help better Muskegon County. It often helps increase their employee morale, shows increases in their marketing and brand awareness, and the fiscal reward that comes in tax savings.
volunteer
BGCML strongly believes in the valuable role that volunteers play in transforming the lives of our Club Members. As little as one hour per week is all it takes to make a positive impact on a young child’s life. Volunteering at BGCML offers many opportunities for growth, not just for the youth impacted by a volunteers kind words or help reading, but for the volunteer too. Volunteers develop key skills while at the Club, ranging from youth development strategies to responsibilities that drive operational excellence.

what your dollar means
In 2015, BGCA engaged the Institute for Social Research and the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan to conduct a national study to estimate the return on investment (ROI), or the benefit-cost ratio, of the services Boys & Girls Clubs provide to youth and their families. The study showed that Boys & Girls Club services and programs produce significant and lasting value for youth, families and their communities. The study suggests that every dollar invested in Boys & Girls Clubs returns $9.60 in current and future earnings and cost-savings to their communities. The greatest benefits are from Club members’ improved grades, reduced substance use, and their parents’ earnings.
Boys & Girls Clubs also contribute to major savings for society by helping to prevent costly expenditures for health care, public assistance programs, criminal justice system involvement, and incarceration. To gain a bit of the national scope of impact Clubs have on the future of our Nation, Clubs invest $1.4 billion annually in youth, resulting in $13.8 billion in lifetime benefits to youth, families and communities. Boys & Girls Clubs provide a safe haven for more than 4 million youth, giving them an opportunity to discover their great futures. But millions of kids are still in need, and we can’t close the opportunity gap alone. You can make a life-changing difference today!
