Mission Statement
The Vacaville Neighborhood Boys & Girls Club is part of a nationwide movement of community-based, autonomous organizations and Boys & Girls Clubs of America working to help youth of all backgrounds develop the qualities needed to become responsible citizens and leaders. We offer daily access to a broad range of programs in five core program areas (Character and Leadership Development; Education and Career Development; Health and Life Skills; The Arts; and Sports, Fitness and Recreation) and several specialized initiatives. All programs are designed to drive positive outcomes for youth and reinforce necessary life skills. Today, more than 220 young people at risk and in need are taking advantage of the programs, activities and services provided by the VNBGC. Our vision is to provide a world-class Club experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who walks through our doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for their future.
About This Cause
For 12 years, the Vacaville Neighborhood Boys & Girls Club has been in the forefront of youth development, working with young people from disadvantaged economic, social and family circumstances. The Vacaville Neighborhood Boys & Girls Club has actively sought to enrich the lives of girls and boys whom other youth agencies have had difficulty reaching. We are dedicated to ensuring that our community’s disadvantaged children and teens have greater access to quality programs and services that will enhance their lives and shape their futures. Our mission is quite simple ~ to inspire and enable the youth of our community, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens. To make sure that all of our members have great futures, the Boys & Girls Club Movement has adopted the Formula for Impact, a research-based theory of change that describes how individual Clubs and the Movement as a whole can increase our impact – exponentially – on the young people of America. Our Formula begins with the young people in Clubs – especially those who need us most. It calls for us to consistently provide the most powerful Club Experience possible – by implementing the Five Key Elements for Positive Youth Development, offering high-yield activities and providing targeted programs – all of which help youth achieve priority outcomes. Then, because we also know that attending the Club more frequently and over a greater length of time makes young people more likely to achieve positive outcomes, Clubs must pursue strategies to increase attendance, program participation, and member retention. In a world that often seems threatening and devoid of promise for a disproportionate number of America's children, the Boys & Girls Club of Vacaville provides a tangible measure of hope. The Club offers young people what they need and want most: adults who respect and listen to them, a safe environment where they can be themselves and have fun and interesting, constructive activities that channel youthful energy into challenging pursuits. A youth development strategy underlies all Boys & Girls Club programs and fosters a sense of belonging, competence, usefulness and influence that builds self-confidence and self-esteem.
