Clubs Are Critical to Youth: Independent Study
An independent survey of alumni, conducted by Louis Harris & Associates, verifies that Boys & Girls Clubs widely benefit young people through effective programs that foster self-confidence, a sense of belonging and hope for the future.
Alumni stated that Club staff had a positive effect on their lives in many critical ways:
- Knowing right from wrong (80%)
- Self-confidence (79%)
- Self-esteem as a child or adolescent (78%)
- Learning good leadership skills (72%)
- Ability to avoid difficulty with the law (70%)
- Having someone to talk to (69%)
- Goals and aspirations (64%)
- Work life and later career (57%)
- Success in high school (56%)
Additionally, communities in need gain much from the presence of Clubs. Alumni from economically and socially disadvantaged backgrounds strongly emphasize the positive impact of Clubs.
