Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Oregon, through their proven programs, strive to make a lasting impact on every child who enters the Club. With great programs also comes an unparalleled level of safety, ensuring that all children in the Clubs are with staff members who care, are professional, educated and superior role models for the community’s youth.
THREE IN TEN LOCAL KIDS ARE NOT GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL ON TIME. The Academic Success programs that take place at every Boys & Girls Club in Central Oregon play an increasingly important role in helping youth increase their grades and earn their high school diplomas. Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Oregon is focused on a goal to graduate all children from high school with a concrete plan for the future.
PLEASE AND THANK YOU. YES, SIR. WOULD YOU LIKE HELP WITH THAT? Through service activities, Character & Citizenship programs at Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Oregon identify community needs, develop programs and activities and encourage kids to actively participate in their community. By creating partnerships with schools, community leaders and parents, and by hiring caring staff, Boys & Girls Clubs are creating a network and culture in which youth embrace the importance of building character and becoming good citizens.
WHEN CHILDREN ARE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE, THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO SUCCEED ACADEMICALLY. Being healthy means eating well, getting regular exercise and making good lifestyle choices, such as staying away from tobacco and drugs. Kids making good choices today build habits that carry into adulthood. Studies prove that a Healthy Lifestyle makes a growing mind more alert. By offering active programming at all four Clubs, youths gain confidence and self-esteem, both essential traits for successful lives.
ARTS PROGRAMMING AT BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OFFER TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUILDING RESILIENCY IN YOUTHS. As the arts are being eliminated from the schools, consequences include loss of several important developmental skills including critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, higher-order thinking, analysis, evaluation, imagination, cooperation, leadership, literacy, communication, and nimbleness of judgment. After all, research indicates that young people who participate in arts and humanities programs are more likely to stay in school and refrain from making harmful choices. Boys & Girls Clubs are dedicated to offering original art programs daily, making children more wellrounded. 4 • Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Oregon

BETHANIE MILLER: Established in 1947, Youth of the Year is Boys & Girls Clubs’ premier recognition program for teen Club Members, promoting service to Club, community and family, academic success, strong moral character, life goals and poise and public speaking ability. The program is most effective when used as a year round tool for fostering young people’s character, personal growth and leadership qualities. Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Oregon had three youth members compete at our regional competition, and after hearing from all of the deserving teens, the judges selected
Bethanie as the 2013 Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Oregon Youth of the Year! Beth will receive a $17,500 college scholarship and $1,000 for a laptop computer when she begins college in the fall of 2013. This scholarship has been provided to our youth over the years through a generous gift from PCC Structurals, Inc. Beth will enroll at Portland Community College this fall with the intention of entering a dual enrollment nursing programming in the future through OHSU.
WHAT THE CLUB MEANS TO BETH: “As I am planning for college and getting ready to graduate, I can’t help but look back on the place that gave me the opportunities that I have, with respect and enlightenment. I love The Club. For the last seven years I have loved it like the home that it is to me, and it has loved me back. Because that’s what it does. The Club supports and it enriches people’s lives, just as it has supported and enriched mine. There is not much in life that I will be able to look back on at this point and think, this is the place that helped create me. This is the place that took in my fears, hesitation, and shyness, and helped turn it all around. The Club made me who I am today.” 2013 Summer Impact Guide • 5
