The Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County (BGCSTC) continues to reach out to its membes with a strong desire and goal for each to realize Academic Success by remaining in school and completing their education.
As the world becomes even more interconnected, it has become more critical than ever for our young people to develop the skills needed to compete in the global economy. Schools are a vital part of the eudcation process. Parents and family membes are also integral to children's success. BGCSTC is an important third party componet in academic success for its members. BGCSTC serves as a partner in providing access to the programs and resources that both youth and families need to succeed. BGCSTC is uniquely postioned to make a significant difference in the academic success of youth in the community. BGCSTC comfortably blends the lines between school and home by providing homework assistance and preparing the children for school the next day. When young people attend school with homework completed, they enjoy and participate in the classroom while feeling a sense of accomplishment. When this learning process takes place, youth are more likely to finish school and proceed to a post-secondary education or reach out for additional job training while looking forward to a rewarding future.
During February 2018, the BGCSTC After School Power Hour Program provided 812 educational support hours to 140 members. As previously stated, these hours offered a structured time and place for BGCSTC staff and volunteers to help members complete their homework and start each school day better prepared and with a sense of confidence and competence.
