Overview

Mission

To inspire and empower the youth of Monterey County to realize their full potential to become responsible, healthy, productive and successful citizens.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Academic Success Initiative ensures that every child we serve achieves on-time grade progression, graduates from high school, completes post-secondary education and earns a livable wage as a productive member of their community. Through our Academic Success Initiative, BGCMC educates youth on cultural awareness, science disciplines and art programs. In order to achieve this goal BGCMC offers a wide range of academic programs, from homework assistance to literacy intervention training for elementary school aged students.The traditional Boys & Girls Club after school program model has been expanded to support youth during the school day on school campuses. Through our Girls Health & Girls Hands Program and physical Clubhouses we offer clubhouse programs to youth while they are in school, educating youth with social-emotional programs, bullying awareness programs and physical fitness programs. While program practitioners are not licensed clinicians, there is evidence that when youth are engaged in safe, predictable, structured activities with caring adults, they can reduce anxiety, depression, and mitigate post traumatic stress disorder.In the Winter of 2025 we expanded service to young adult alumni with our Future Ready program. This program supports the alumni to enact the plan that they created with our College & Career Readiness program team. This program supports participants making connections in their chosen career field, monthly case management sessions for support and navigating challenges of emerging adulthood and maintaining a network of support.
