Boys & Girls Club of Bloomington-Normal

Boys & Girls Club of Bloomington-Normal Our mission is to empower all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible, caring citizens.

The Club plays a positive role in the lives of young people, providing a safe environment where they can learn and grow. We believe in FIVE key elements for positive youth development:

1. A SAFE, POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT- The Club is a safe haven where members feel physically and emotionally secure at all times.

2. FUN- The Club facility, staff, and program offerings create a welcoming, positive env

ironment that allows members to engage in play, enjoy their time, and be happy and eager to come to the Club.

3. SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS- The Club ensures that every young person feels connected to one or more adults and has friendships with peers.

4. 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.

5. RECOGNITION- The Club takes every opportunity to recognize and validate Club members' achievement and accomplishments.

Though he doesn't like the spotlight, we would like to share some photos of our own Dodie Dunson being awarded the President’s Medallion at Elevate Heartland last week. This was a special evening in celebration of the President's Medallion recipients for this year. The President's Medallion is the highest honor Heartland Community College can bestow upon an individual. This award exemplifies the College's mission to "enrich our community" by honoring those who share this ethos. Way to go, Dodie! Thank you for all you do for this community.
