Boys & Girls Club Of Charlotte Inc dba Boys and Girls Clubs of Charlotte County

Power Hour's underlying philosophy is that the benefits of homework are not only academic, but also behavioral and social. Beyond the academic benefit, consistent homework completion helps young people develop valuable organizational and interpersonal skills -- including time management, prioritizing, task completion and working cooperatively with others. These skills are necessary for achievement in school and are a foundation for a successful life. Power Hour enables Clubs to provide extra attention and focused assistance to at-risk members and those in need of motivation and direction. With the proper guidance and support, every Club member has the chance to develop self-directed learning skills and to be successful in school. Club staff and volunteers who are encouraging, nurturing role models are the heart of the program and the key to its success. Ask successful adults to whom they credit their success, and many cite mentors who inspired them at a critical time.
