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.
