What types of programs do you offer?

All of our programs align with our three priority outcomes of Healthy Lifestyles, Good Character & Citizenship, and Academic Success, although each Club offers programs that serve the specific needs of the youth in their care. An example of our programs are:
 
    • Power Hour: Helps Club members achieve academic success by participating in homework help and high-yield learning activities designed to help members become self-directed learners.
 
    • Cowboy Ethics: Inspired by the Code of the West, this game-based program inspires self-discovery aimed at helping youth develop a framework of values and character.
 
    • Socal Recreation: Through structured activities and game-time, youth learn emotional regulation, healthy relationships, and responsible-decision making.

What are the steps you take to keep my child safe?

The safety of the children you entrust with us is our highest priority. We have a rigorous set of safety policies and procedures which provide multiple checks for potential issues and threats. Here are just a few of the highlights.
      • Before we hire, we do mandatory background checks on employees and volunteers and then we recheck them every year.
      • Our employees and volunteers must complete mandatory training on child abuse prevention and reporting requirements.
      • If there is an incident, our staff are required to report it, regardless of severity and if appropriate, we report the incident to the local authorities.
      • Every year, our entire organization – including each Club – undergoes a safety assessment.
      • Professional adults, trained in response protocols for all emergencies, check kids and visitors in and out at our secure access points.
