or email tmelvin@bgcmidlands.org Boys & Girls Clubs of the Midlands understands that our current members are our community’s future workforce, leaders, and citizens. To help our members become responsible citizens as they grow, a major focus of our activities is character and leadership development. We recognize the value of helping children develop strong character, a set of qualities and values that will shape their thoughts and actions. Our activities help members learn to show compassion for others, be honest and fair, show self-discipline in setting and reaching goals, stand up for what they believe, and respect others and their communities. We help our members learn to value and celebrate our national heritage, as well as teach them about the importance of participating in the democratic process. Along with countless activities that foster citizenship skills, every one of our Campuses provides opportunities for age-appropriate leadership opportunities through which members can be involved in the planning and decision making. Our members also participate in a wide variety of community service projects through which they learn to “give back” and enhance skills that will help shape their lives and futures. At the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Midlands, we know that the future of our country rests with its children. Today’s kids will become tomorrow’s parents, workforce, and leaders. That’s why we’re proud that young people from across the midlands are building and planning their futures as members of our Clubs. Our community of staff, volunteers, parents, and supporters believe that the promise of tomorrow begins today. Together, we give young people and the midlands a sense of hope, a sense of opportunity, a sense that anything is possible because great futures starts here. To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
