Our 3-year study on the impact of Clubs<\/mark> is the largest of its kind in Canada.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

Since 2022, BGC Clubs have been engaged in a collective evaluation to prove and improve the impact of Clubs through our Learning and Impact initiative. To date, BGC Clubs have collected nearly 30,000 survey responses<\/strong> and conducted 1,246 one-to-one interviews<\/strong> with Club kids. Their responses reveal the significant impact the BGC Club experience has on young people across the country.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3653″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”none” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1768336441719{background-color: #003B4A00 !important;}”][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” css_animation=”bottom-to-top” css=”.vc_custom_1759178441127{background-color: #003B4A !important;}” el_class=”wave-container navy ptop-7 pbottom-10 stretch-row max-width-1320″][vc_column]

Our Approach<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

BGC Clubs provide intentional programs and services<\/mark> that are responsive to community needs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

BGC Clubs across the country are defined by the three common features of the Club experience, as articulated in BGC Canada\u2019s theory of change: the Model for Success.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”top-to-bottom” css=”.vc_custom_1763070851783{padding-top: 49px !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-md-4″]\n\t\t\t

Place of Belonging<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Clubs strive to create physical, emotional, and social environments that promote a sense of security and acceptance.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-md-4″]\n\t\t\t

Life-Changing Opportunities<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Clubs provide enriching programs and experiences where children and youth are challenged to try new things, discover their interests, and acquire new skills that lead to their growth and development.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-md-4″]\n\t\t\t

Authentic Connections<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Club staff cultivate strong, meaningful relationships with children and youth that are based on connection, caring, and support; leading to personal growth, confidence, and character development.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”top-to-bottom”][vc_column el_class=”center”][vc_btn title=”Learn more about our approach” style=”solid” color=”green_btn” css=”” link=”url:%2Four-impact%2Four-approach%2F|title:Our%20Approach”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1757121828031{background-color: #F2F7FB !important;}” el_class=”section-padding-top-13 section-padding-bottom-13″][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css_animation=”bottom-to-top”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10″]

Our Outcomes<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

When kids come to a Club, their life is impacted in a positive way<\/mark>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
