With a mission to nurture, educate and enrich children and youth for lifelong success, the boys & girls clubs of the sioux empire now serves more than 2,900 children from 4 weeks of age to 18 throughout brandon, harrisburg, and sioux falls. This includes two early learning academy sites, 16 k-5 enrichment sites, and three middle school programs. All programs feature curriculum and programming focused around five core areas: 1) character and leadership; 2) career and education; 3) health and life skills; 4) the arts; 5) sports, fitness, and recreation. Programs and services at the boys & girls clubs of the sioux empire promote and enhance the development of children and youth by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging, and influence, and providing youth with a safe place to learn and grow. With trauma-informed practices and a dedicated student success team, all youth receive a wide range of supports and resources designed to enhance social-emotional development and well-being. Small group programming, building skill sets that promote emotional regulation and socialization, and strategically placed calm down spaces throughout our facilities provide children and youth with a quality environment that is safe, inviting and conducive to learning.
