Overview
Mission
The mission of the boys & girls clubs of southeast Louisiana is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
What it reported doing in 2019
Triple play, bgca's first comprehensive health and wellness program developed in conjunction with the u.s. Department of health and human services, strives to improve the overall health of club members ages 6 to 18 by improving their daily physical activity, teaching them good nutrition and helping them develop healthy relationships. The mind component encourages young people to eat smart through the healthy habits program. This program covers the power of choice, calories, vitamins and minerals, the food pyramid and appropriate portion size. The body component boosts club's traditional physical activities to a higher level by providing sports and fitness activities for all youth. Body programs include 6 daily fitness challenges; teen sports clubs focused on leadership development services and careers in athletics; and triple play games tournaments, inter-club sectional tournaments that involve multiple team sports. The soul component helps build positive relationships and cooperation among young people.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
