As the global health crisis recedes, our Club communities continue to be affected by learning loss, food insecurity, career-building disruptions, mental health, and childcare needs. By offering wraparound services that address the needs of the whole child, we are able to focus on the challenges ahead and work holistically to offer resources to families. The Club offers programs that combine academics with extracurricular activities, character and leadership and mentorship to achieve the best outcomes for our members. Through Community Health Services, families can begin to recover from the mental, physical and economical challenges they faced during the pandemic. BGCGG remains committed to responding to the immediate needs of members and families.
