Educational programs are offered to club members and vary in topic from health/ life skills to education and career development. The Boys and Girls Club website is a testament to how the club can help children and teens overcome difficulties at home and in school http://www.bgcc.org/about_us/success_stories/. The club has been an inspiration to many children, who have grown into successful adults.

The clothes and household items being collected will go to members of the club and their families who have need for them. The collection of these items for club members goes hand in hand with the mission and structure of The Boys and Girls Club. Since volunteers and employees endeavor to be a source of trustworthy role models that the children and teens can rely on, this type of support from the club reinforces that goal. The youth of this club will know that the adults in the club are there for them, rooting for their growth and success.
