What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Boys & Girls Club of Stamford addresses many needs of youth and families in our community. Of our 1,600 members, 75% come from households with annual income less than $15,000 a year, nearly half are single-parent homes, and 97% come from diverse backgrounds. For many of our families, our Club is the only affordable and accessible childcare option, especially during after school hours. All 22 Stamford Schools drop off at one of our two locations. We also address things like food insecurity but securing snacks and often meals for youth, the achievement gap by providing homework help, tutoring, and mentors, and the opportunity gap by providing workforce development skills training, college, and career readiness programs.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We aim to provide a positive, productive, safe, and nurturing environment where youth can get whatever help they need, thus having the best chance to make their dreams and aspirations a reality. We aim to attract even more youth than the 1,600 existing members, and motivate youth to attend frequently.

Our formula for success starts with having an accessible physical space, with diverse programming and services. Then, we foster trusting relationships between youth and adults, make sure the Club is a safe, fun, and welcoming place for all, and encourage youth to attend regularly. Our strategy is based on Boys & Girls Club best practices adopted by thousands of Clubs and rooted in the needs of our community.

Boys & Girls Club of Stamford has been doing this work since 1927. The Club has a culture and framework that is modeled around best practices shared among thousands of Boys & Girls Clubs. Further, many of our staff are former Club members, so the culture is reinforced over many years.

We are very proud of our increased average daily attendance and total youth served, which has taken place over many years. We are also very proud of our ability to positive impact the academic metrics of our youth.
