The Club provides educational and recreational opportunities, including homework assistance, art instruction, technology access, athletics, and much more to approximately 600 youth each year. Our Youth Development Program, located at the Burke 45th Street site, is at the heart of the Club's mission and provides a quality after school environment for local youth for a nominal fee (scholarships are
available). We strive to provide the type of environment that leads to successful youth development:
Safe, stimulating program areas that provide learning opportunities for all
A separate programming space and late-night recreation options for teens
Low staff turnover and a focus on building relationships with members
Respect for all families, regardless of circumstances, and a commitment to family partnerships
An open and inclusive environment that welcomes all members, including those with disabilities. A focus on fun learning experiences and a high-yield learning atmosphere
Emphasis on behavior expectations and helping youth to develop good decision-making skills
FUN! Programs in technology, athletics, art and more that speak to the interests of all youth. We continue to grow our programs and increase their quality each year, and out staff are dedicated to providing the best experience for our members. Staff members work daily to ensure that we are fulfilling our mission.
