BGCA has implemented the programmatic strategy Every Memb er, Every Year, designed so that all Clubs, no matter their size or resources, can partner with youth, parents, schools and other community stakeholders to implement at least one of three approaches...

Helping youth become responsible, caring citizens and acquire skills for participating in the democratic process is the main thrust of these programs. They also develop leadership skills and provide opportunities for planning, decision-making, contributing to Club and community and celebrating our national heritage.

These initiatives develop young people’s  capacity to engage in positive behaviors that nurture their own well-being, set personal goals and live successfully as self-sufficient adults.
