We are very proud of the strides made last year in the effectiveness of our programs and the impact our organization made on our community. Through the tireless work of our board, staff and volunteers we have the resources to reach over 3900 youth in Southeast Georgia.

Every year we approach the next on how we can be more involved with our club member’s education. As John Dewey, American Philosopher stated “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself”. We work hard every day to evolve and adapt our programming to enhance the school’s curriculum and at the same time engage the children in fun activities. Our members know The Club as just a fun place to go and be with their friends; adults see The Club as an opportunity to help guide youth in their journey to adulthood. If there isn’t the perfect balance of fun and engaging experiences they just won’t come back to The Club. Creating activities and programs that make it learning fun is what we do the best at the Boys & Girls Club.

Every day our kids do the kind of things in their home away from home that we all know make a difference. They sit down together for a hot, nutritious meal and to learn more about what to eat to keep them healthy and fit for life. They learn collaboration and teamwork by working with one another on homework, playing team sports, helping staff set up activities and meals, as well as numerous community service projects. Each day our Club members walk in the door to The Club they are greeted by a staff member and we let them know we are glad they are there!

It is well documented that we all pay a heavy price when young people fail to graduate. The economic consequences of failing to graduate is lower incomes, less spending power, higher costs for public assistance programs, higher rates of incarceration and business find it harder and harder to find qualified candidates for the job openings they have. At the Elizabeth F. Correll Teen Center we will continue to expose our teens membership to higher education through our visits to state and local colleges. The teen center will also continue to work with local business in the coming year to offer programs providing them with an introduction to and in some cases, hands on experience with jobs and career opportunities.

There is still a significant need to grow our current base of support and engage new friends in the community. Our goal is to serve even more at-risk children in Glynn County, and make sure we have Clubs in areas where we are needed most. In order for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Georgia to move forward and bring powerful change to young lives, we must rely on the continued support and encouragement of our community leaders, the school district, corporate partners, and neighbors—people like you!

On behalf of our staff and over 3,900 club members, we thank you for making a difference in the lives of kids. We look forward to a great year in 2014!

Sincerely,

Brian Dolan, Chief Professional Officer BOYS & GIRLS CLUBof Southeast Georgia, Inc.from left to right: Mike Warren, Brian Dolan, TJ Andrews,

THE YEAR IN REVIEW: Terrill Thomas continues to be a popular place for the area youth to come and play basketball, take an art class, play in the game room, or just hang out with friends. The last few years we have been putting on more special events that include the whole family and this year we hosted more of those events than we ever had. The family dinners are very successful and just get bigger and bigger each time. We also were host to a number of teen events to cater to our middle school kids. It is really important to keep the 7th & 8th grade students coming to the club so we can keep them in The Club family all the way through school, so we will continue to provide special events and activities that keep them involved in The Club.

Our world just seems to move at a faster pace every year and sometimes can be very confusing to youth. Part of our curriculum this past year was talking with the members on adults they can trust. We created open forums in small age specific groups to not only identify the needs of some of our youth, but to reassure them that the Club Staff is there for them. This activity was not only useful to the members but a wonderful reminder to all the staff. It is extremely important to every staff member that we make each child feel like they belong there and they have someone to talk to.

The kids were involved with a number of community events but this past year one event in particular was very memorable for us all. In honor of MLK’s “Day of Service”, The members worked hard making key chains, magnets, star wreaths, toy soldiers and writing letters of encouragement and sent them in a care package to 165 soldiers in the 978th Military Police Company. The MP Company was very appreciative and the kids loved making a difference in someone else’s life!

YOUTH OF THE YEAR: ZANIAH BRADLEYZaniah started attending the Club when she was 5 years old and we have watched her blossom into an amazing young lady. Zaniah has such a congenial personality and is always happy to be at The Club. She is the first to volunteer when extra tutors are needed to help with homework, or if we need assistance cleaning or serving dinner. We can count on Zaniah to make new members feel comfortable and welcome. She is the Club member other kids look to when they need help academically and will often motivate her group to do great things. She brings positive energy that inspires others to strive to be better.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW: A fun-filled year would be an understatement to this past year at the St. Simons Island Club. Not only did we provide them with unique and fun experiences we also engaged their minds, body and spirit through numerous activities, field trips and community service projects. The kids rose to the challenges and matured as individuals and our Club grew closer together in the process.

Through the generous support and work from the congregation at the First Baptist Church the service project “Operation Christmas Child” was a wonderful success. Club members; their families and staff donated toys, school supplies, and hygiene items to ship to children overseas that are less fortunate. Club members also continue their work with Keep Glynn Beautiful and make their way over to the St. Simons Island beach to pick up trash and debris.

St. Simons Island is a wonderful community where we have numerous artists who are willing to share their talents with the kids and expose them to fun and creative art projects. This year our youth produced over 100 pieces of art to show at the 2nd Annual Fine Arts Exhibit. It is always amazing to see the interesting and varied art produced from these creative minds.

Recreation and sports have always been a big part of the Boys & Girls Club and this year was no exception. We had a great group of kids turn out for inter-club leagues in flag football, basketball, kickball, and dodgeball. We also had 18 of our members sign up for a 6 week program in golf etiquette, techniques and proper form in preparation for a real “Adult” golf tournament, Swing for the Kids sponsored by St. Simons Island Rotary and Nalley Automotive. It was a great event where each foursome was rounded out by one of club members. A great learning experience for the kids and the adults! We also had a great number of kids participate in the Hit, Pitch, & Run event sponsored by Major League Baseball. Carrying on the diversity of our activities our members also enjoyed great events such as: Frisbee Golf Tournament, The Worlds Largest Fishing Rodeo, Get Fit Field Day and many other heart pounding activities.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW: We are very excited about the participation from our club members in the 21st Century After-School program. The program focus on academic achievement throughout the year with an emphasis on the following: Homework, Specialized Tutoring, Mentoring, Technology / Computer Lab, Recreation, Speaker / Field Trips and more. What makes the 21st Century program unique is the collaboration with the educators in the Glynn County School District and the Boys & Girls Club creating curriculum that helps better educate and engage students in their school experience. The project-based learning program covers the gamut of subjects. In September the students learned about Greece, touching base on the history, culture, food, even reviewing the Greek Alphabet and learned how to spell and say their names in Greek.

Everyone loves games and our kids are no exception! The kids had a great time playing board games against their fellow members of the other Clubs at the inaugural GAME ROOM TOURNAMENT held at St. Simons Island Unit. Our members even brought back four trophies from the tournament. Our youth also enjoyed fun events like celebrating the National Hobby Month in January where they shared different talents and hobbies with one another.

Helping youth become responsible, caring citizens and acquire skills for participating in the democratic process is the main thrust of our leadership curriculum. The staff at The Club have been working with the middle school members on one of the basics of leadership; communication. So when students and parents have been coming into The Club the students have been practicing their greetings as if they were in a professional setting. Taking it a step further we discussed how important professional etiquette is in business and developing their careers and leadership roles.

The Club at Jane Macon really step things up when it comes to sports and recreation! We have a great number of our youth join in the various leagues and they really getting tips and advice from our experienced coaches and staff members. They love learning new techniques that they can use on their competition against the other Clubs.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW: Risley Elementary School is a fairly new school and The Club at Risley opened shortly after the school opened their doors. Since the unit is the newest of the Boys & Girls Club and new to the students we have been working very hard to create the “family” atmosphere at The Club. The membership continues to strengthen and we are seeing even more involvement in the 21st Century Program. Each month a member convinces a new friend or two to join the fun and we are very encouraged about the membership in 2014.

The kids loved attending the Youth Day at the McGladery Golf Tournament this past fall. The members enjoyed golf theme games and healthy snacks. Towards the end of the day the members were able to watch golf professionals do trick shots to show their skills. Then afterwards the Pros met with the kids and signed autographs. We often hear the kids talk about the different field trips and unique excursions we take during school breaks and the Summer Program. It keeps the kids together even when school isn’t in session and creates life-long friendships.

The staff at The Club at Risley have been emphasizing physical fitness throughout the year with the kids. Our dynamic wellness program demonstrates how eating right, keeping fit and forming positive relationships add up to a healthy lifestyle. The goal is to improve Club members’ knowledge of healthy habits; increase the number of hours per day they participate in physical activities; and strengthen their ability to interact positively with others and engage in positive relationships. Our games and team building activities are designed to get all kids involved regardless of their skill level. Even a game of scavenger hunt got them in motion as they ran to various locations looking for their listed items.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW: The Club at Needwood continues to have a great number of students from this school attend and we just love working with the teachers, staff and administration at Needwood Elementary School to enhance the students education. And we provide a nice little release after a busy day of hitting the books. The Club at Needwood is known for its great group of friends and plenty of fun things to do after the school day is over.

Using visual arts to help kids understand their world and express their own creativity. This past year at The Club at Needwood the kids have created some masterful art. The numerous projects and creations have been in many different forms and mediums providing the youth unique and creative ways to express themselves and learn a little about art along the way. During the fall season they worked on seasonal art that they could display at home or at The Club. Some of the more popular projects were pinecone turkeys, Thanksgiving & Christmas Cards, bracelet making, key chains from craft string, and of course sketches and paintings.

At The Club we are also engaged with the Boys & Girls curriculum, Project Learn, which is a strategy that incorporates Homework Help and Tutoring, High-Yield Learning Activities, Parental Involvement and Collaborations with Schools, into all programs offered. Each staff member has measurable goals and outcomes that need to be accomplished in order to achieve Project Learn. The program is a good tie into the 21st Century program in which we are encouraging more students from our Club to attend. The program helps students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs.

The Club has even more energy when we are playing together as a group outside. Our annual Field Day was no exception, the energy was high and the smiles were big. The kids participate in games of ladder toss, a balloon relay, sack races and much more. They were all so excited to have a field day at the club and cannot wait until the next one.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW: The McIntyre Unit membership levels grew this past year and we just have a great bunch of kids coming to The Club. With our numbers pushing 130-150 kids daily we have to be diligent on our rotation and keep these kids engaged in the rotation activities to service that many kids. It has just been great fun and we see more and more family participation at various Club family events.

In order to keep up in the fast paced world of technology we have been working with our students in their computer skills proficiency. The Club program CLUB TECH is BGCA’s digital literacy and technology skills program, and it includes a comprehensive array of programs to help Club professionals build members’ computer skills and integrate technology in all Core Program Areas. Not only are the Club members benefiting from this program but our staff is learning things too! Club Tech helps Clubs incorporate technology in every aspect of their operation. Most importantly, young people develop the technology skills necessary to succeed in school and eventually the job market.

We put a lot of work into our curriculum and programs this past year to keep the topics fresh and interesting. It was especially important to keep those minds thinking over the summer months so many of the activities we designed to continue the learning process through discovery, creative expression, teamwork and leadership skills. They also develop leadership skills and provide opportunities for planning, decision-making, contributing to Club and community and celebrating our national heritage. During National Black History month we worked on projects where the kids learned about some of the great leaders and innovators and had a good time at it too!

Of course the sports and recreation are always a popular activity with our students and the McIntyre Court. Every year the McIntyre Court teams are pretty competitive in the Club flag football and basketball leagues and this year was no exception. Our kids brought home some Club Championship titles. The flag football team even received certificates made by their Coach and was awarded during our Friday Assembly in the Game room.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW: Glynn Villa Unit had many successes this past year but one of our favorite additions to The Club was the Imagination Room, The Club’s new reading room. We have many younger club members at Glynn Villa and they just love using the new space. Kids will learn reading skills in school, but often they come to associate reading with work, not pleasure. As a result, they lose their desire to read. And it is that desire, the curiosity and interest that is the cornerstone to using reading and related skills successfully. By far the most effective way to encourage kids to love books and reading is to read aloud to them. We have club members, staff and volunteers use this space to read to the younger kids and they just love it.

The 21st Century After-School Program is an essential part of many of our students education. We continue to encourage our membership to take advantage of this program so they can get the most out of their scholastics. We think that it also contributes to the number of days the members attend the club. Even the kids are getting the fact that they are missing out when they don’t make it to a 21 Century Session. Then when they get to The Club they can just let it lose, because kids have energy and they need an outlet. The Glynn Villa Unit is just the place to get their hearts racing, wear big smiles and have some ol’fashion fun with their friends.

In 2014 we will continue to reach out to the membership family getting them into The Club for some family fun. The Club members love to show their family what they do after-school at the Club and share their arts & craft projects. A great example is the garden that they kids planted they couldn’t wait to show their parents what they did and the progress of their plants. By doing more family events it is also a great opportunity to get the younger siblings, future Club member, comfortable at The Club. To the staff and members Glynn Villa Unit isn’t just a Boys & Girls Club it is the extended family.
