Our Programs
Our programs have a solid foundation.
A great afterschool program starts with a solid base. At BGCNEO, we build our programming on four pillars. Kids experience growth — and have the best chance to succeed – by striving for:
Academic Success
Learning does not stop at the end of the school day. Our staff help our kids improve their reading, get their homework done, explore the world around them, and engage in the arts. We also help prepare teens for college and careers.
Health & Wellness
Club teens are more likely to have abstained from substance use in their lifetimes compared to high schoolers nationally. Our programs nurture members’ overall wellbeing by promoting healthy habits and reducing risky ones.
Character & Leadership
Clubs help develop active citizens. We encourage youth to advocate for their Club and community through service, leadership, and respect for others and self.
Life & Workforce Readiness
Young people learn skills such as teamwork, time management, financial literacy, career exploration and job readiness.
