This national study was undertaken to investigate and learn more about the Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s contributions to the health and well-being of its members. It sought to determine how Boys and Girls Clubs (B&GCA) affect and enhance the development for club members, and develop a fuller understanding of and appreciation for the various kinds of impact they are in a position to impart, and are imparting. Emphasis was on examining and making sense of how clubs positively influence the attitudes, skills, values, and behavior of club members that enable them to succeed through adolescence and into adulthood.
The project was conducted as a partnership between B&GCA and Search Institute.
