OUR CORE PURPOSE IS TO SERVE AS MANY KIDS AS EFFECTIVELY AS POSSIBLE, THROUGH IMPACTFUL PROGRAMS AND SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS. IN 2024, WE SERVED MORE THAN 5,000 YOUTH THROUGH OUR BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL AND SUMMER PROGRAMS. WE EXPANDED OUR REACH TO OPERATE 35 CLUB SITES ACROSS ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, CASS COUNTY, FULTON COUNTY, PULASKI COUNTY, AND WHITE COUNTY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS. WE CONTINUED OUR COLLABORATION WITH A LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT AT SUCCESS ACADEMY BGC, A K-5 MICROSCHOOL WITHIN OUR FLAGSHIP SITE, AS WELL AS SERVED YOUTH AT THE CLUB TEEN CENTER IN DOWNTOWN SOUTH BEND. WE RAN A 5-WEEK, FULL-DAY, SUMMER PROGRAM THAT SERVED 2,500 KIDS AT 16 SITES, WORKING WITH OUR SCHOOL PARTNERS AND HIRING CERTIFIED TEACHERS TO PREVENT THE SUMMER SLIDE. OUR WORKFORCE IS FOCUSED ON LITERACY AND MATH FLUENCY PROGRAMS TO COMBAT PANDEMIC LEARNING LOSS, AS WELL AS EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING AND COLLEGE AND WORKFORCE READINESS PROGRAMS TO PREPARE KIDS FOR SUCCESSFUL FUTURES. OUR VISION IS TO CONTINUE TO GROW TO REACH MORE CHILDREN AND TEENS, ELEVATE OUR IMPACT, AND SUSTAIN OUR MISSION TO ENSURE SUCCESS IS WITHIN REACH OF EVERY CHILD.
