EXCELLENT OUTCOMES

Mikal, a 9-year-old member of our Carson City Club, was consistent-ly in trouble for his bad behavior. Through our Bully SMART program he learned how to better communicate with peers, especially when he’s feeling over-stimulated. Now Mikal has gone from being a bully around the club to someone who frequently notices when other kids are in trouble or need help standing up for themselves.

As part of their Triple Play program, the Mason Valley Club set up an obstacle course with a section for jumping rope. Surprised to discover that most of the kids didn’t know how to jump rope, the staff stopped the course and taught this skill. In the beginning one member, who is autistic, had severe dif�culty with this activity. Now she enjoys jumping rope every day, often using it to calm herself.

Eight-year-old Reynaldo, a member of our Lied Club in Southern Nevada, was new to soccer when he joined our indoor soccer league, but he quickly learned the rules of the game and always showed up ready to play his hardest. Although he wasn’t a strong player, Reynaldo became a vital part of the gym by helping set up the goals and get the equipment ready for the games. With his great character and sportsmanship, Reynaldo is a role model for our younger members.

Right before Turkey Bowl was to start at our Truckee Meadows Club, two teens who had walked two miles to get there showed up. With teams already set, they were placed on teams that needed a little extra boost. Gage, a talented 17-year-old athlete, ended up on a team of 11- and 12-year olds. But he had a great attitude and taught his teammates a few things as he led them all the way to the Cham-pionship Game.

Gage’s teammate Zander, age 11, has had anger issues in the past. When one of our staff saw Zander beginning to act out, she started heading over to intervene. But Gage stepped in �rst. He took Zander under his wing and calmed him down, even telling our staff, “I got him.” Gage’s incredible leadership was wonderful to see.

Our ResultsWhen working with youth it is often the net effect of a long series of

seemingly little things that adds up to the biggest impact. We know the

Boys & Girls Clubs’ program works because we see it in action every

day in situations like these…
