Club experience: quality club experience is one in which members feel physically and emotionally safe, receive support and recognition from caring adults who set expectations for them, are provided opportunities to try new things, have fun and feel a sense of belonging. When club staff intentionally focus on these youth development fundamentals and young people attend the club more frequently, this combination drives stronger outcomes for youth in BGCA's three priority areas -academic success, good character and citizenship, and healthy lifestyles. Under the 2025 program strategy, targeted programs will be designed to integrate the evidence-based staff practices that promote the five key elements for positive youth development. In targeted programs, these practices will be written into the curriculum and implemented in ways that are relevant to the specific topic addressed by the program. Curricula will incorporate specific components to increase young people's emotional safety as they participate in programs. We know from our local club leaders that training for youth development professionals is one of the most important services BGCA provides, and we also know through our data that regular training for staff creates better outcomes for youth. BGCA's ability to drive youth outcomes relies on the power of our people and the impact of leadership. By developing leaders who are capable of fostering safe learning environments, club youth will gain the essential skills necessary to be productive, caring and responsible citizens. BGCA's training model is continually evolving to meet the needs of club staff and youth and ensure that all staff have the opportunity to receive trainings, whether they are in urban, rural, native or military communities.
