Teens Ava, Shalyn, Robert, and Euphoria joined John Agnelli, Director of Advocacy & Strategic Initiatives, and Kathleen Belton, Advocacy Program Specialist, in Washington, DC, on June 14, 2026. Our members visited Amazon, Boeing, United, and Georgetown University, and also worked on resumes and interviewing skills. They enjoyed a complete tour of Washington, DC, gaining first-hand exposure to national institutions and career pathways through our partnership with The Dr. Sachiko Kuno Center of Transformation (CoT).
The Dr. Sachiko Kuno Center of Transformation (CoT) is a groundbreaking “incubator” for change, innovation, engagement, advocacy, and creative thinking. As the nation’s leader among Boys & Girls Clubs, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington established CoT as a hub for Club youth from coast to coast. CoT serves as a conduit for social impact and justice, with a strong focus on elevating youth voices.
Our mission: to deepen Club youth’s awareness of global issues and empower them to advocate for a sustainable future.
Our vision: to design a locally crafted, nationally scalable program that offers youth world-class opportunities and experiences, turning them into global change agents and solution-focused leaders.
