Overview

Mission

To empower all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential through opportunities to realize academic success, good character and citizenship, and healthy lifestyles.

What it reported doing in 2024

Academic Support: Targeted programs and services specifically focused on successful grade progression and academics resulting in high school completion. 100% of high school members were introduced to post-secondary pathways to assist with post high school planning and 81% reported their plans to continue on to college after high school. 99% of club members progressed to subsequent grade levels in 2024. Boys & Girls clubs academic support programs and services were expanded through one club becoming Washington State Licensed Childcare to offer these programs at an affordable rate for families eligible through Washington State Working Connections Child Care.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
