Our Youth Development Programs
Our wide array of time-tested programs are one of the reasons we
are the region’s leading youth development organization.
At our Clubs, trained, professional staff lead our young members
through positive, constructive curricula and activities on a
variety of topics. This lineup of nationally recognized programs
addresses today's most pressing youth issues, teaching young
people the skills they need to succeed in life.
Most of our programs fall within our 5 Core Areas of Youth
Development: Education & Career Development; Character &
Leadership; Health & Life Skills; The Arts; and Sports, Fitness,
& Recreation. Here’s a description of some of our most
successful programs:
- Torch Clubs are chartered small group leadership
development clubs for young people ages 14 to 18. Members elect
officers, choose their own activities and plan and implement
community service projects.
- Power Hour: Making Minutes Count is a comprehensive
homework help and tutoring program. POWER HOUR is designed to
raise the academic proficiency of Club members ages 6 to12.
- CareerLaunch is a career exploration and mentoring
program for teens ages 13-18.
- Goals for Graduation introduces Club members ages 6
to15 to the concept of academic goal setting. In one-on-one
sessions with Club professionals, members set achievable goals,
then create action plans.
Other programs include: Skill Tech (computer skills),
Triple Play (healthy living), SMART Moves (Skills
Mastery and Resistance Training), Reviving Baseball in Inner
Cities - RBI (life skills through sports), Money Matters
(financial literacy), Project Learn (academic
