Boys and Girls Club of Bloomington-Normal
The Boys & Girls Club of Bloomington-Normal's mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington-Normal is a chartered member of the national organization, Boys & Girls Clubs of America. It is not just after an after school hangout, the Club is a place where young people come to learn, do homework, develop social skills, express themselves creatively and participate in sports. Our programming helps children build academic success, healthy lifestyles and leadership.
We believe in five key elements for positive youth development:
A safe, positive environment
The Club is a safe haven where members feel physically and emotionally secure at all times.
Fun
The Club facility, staff, and program offerings create a welcoming, positive environment that allows members to engage in play, enjoy their time, and be happy and eager to come to the Club.
Supportive relationships
The Club ensures that every young person feels connected to one or more adults and has friendships with peers.
Opportunities and expectations
Club staff and programs consistently communicate the expectation that every child has the potential to excel, be productive and succeed at the Club and in life.
Recognition
The Club takes every opportunity to recognize and validate Club members' achievement and accomplishments.
