Vision & Mission Our vision is to provide a world-class Club Experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who walks through our doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character and citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle. We know that an intentional plan around the ‘what next, life after high school’ is critical. That plan could feature a four year institution, trade or technical school, family business, and military service.

Positive youth

DevelopmentClubs provide a safe place where youth have fun, develop meaningful relationships with paid professional staff who set high expectations and provide continuous recognition.

“”

Staff told me I could be somebody. I’ve chosen to use hardshipsas a reason to succeed rather than an excuse to fail.
