Community PartnersWe realize that the success of our many programs is due to the collaborations we have throughout our community. The expertise our partners offer gives our members the chance to explore the many possibilities life has to offer. Current major affiliations, partnerships and collaborations include the following: California State University Monterey BayUpon inception of the college, our Club served as the non-profit pilot program to fulfill CSUMB’s learning service component. Many CSUMB students fulfill their community service at our club, bringing many innovative programs. We have also developed a partnership with both the Wellness School and the School of Music. YMCA & BGCMCOur partnership with the YMCA has been ongoing for over five years, serving kids from Pacific Grove, Seaside, Carmel and Monterey. The YMCA provides 14 teams in basketball and soccer, and we use BGCMC's gym for all games during the respective seasons. JazzMastersA mentoring program dedicated to continue the legacy of the tradition of music. It offers a weekly conduit for our members to interact with top local jazz professionals who offer specialized guidance and skills while nurturing students in an environment of free exchange. Girl ScoutsSmart Girls, our drug, alcohol and pregnancy prevention program, is conducted with the Girl Scout troops from local middle schools. This program serves young women between the ages of 11 and 14. Seaside JayceesFor the past 8 years the Seaside Jaycees have volunteered to take 40 of our members (who, otherwise, may not have any opportunity to experience camping) on an annual camping excursion. The Jaycees purchase the food, prepare all the meals, and provide volunteers to chaperone with our staff. The Jaycees also invite 25 of our members during Christmas time to go shopping and purchase gifts for their families. They provide volunteer mentors and the funding for this event. Salinas Police Activities LeaguePAL is currently providing volunteers and funds to facilitate all sports leagues. This partnership gives our children the opportunity to have positive relationships with the local police. Boys & Girls Clubs of AmericaBoys & Girls Clubs of America have been a tremendous support to our organization. Our BGCMC Units have been chosen to pilot programs such as: Diversity Initiative, Project Learn, and Smart Girls, for The Boys & Girls Clubs of America. This gives us the opportunity to have a major impact on National programming. The Diversity Initiative, in collaboration with the Anti-Defamation League, was developed to teach young people about valuing diversity, exhibiting leadership in confronting biased behaviors, and conflict resolution workshops for members and their families. Project Learn is a strategy that incorporates Homework Help and Tutoring, High-Yield Learning Activities, Parental Involvement and Collaborations with Schools, into all programs offered. Each staff member has measurable goals and outcomes that need to be accomplished in order to achieve Project Learn. Smart Girls is our alcohol, drug and pregnancy prevention program. Since the pilot program began, involvement has grown to over 40 young women participating on a weekly basis. HSBCThe ongoing support that the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County recieves from HSBC is extraordinary. Their generosity with corporate donations has been instrumental in maintaining and developing ongoing programs and helped tremedously in the opening of the Harden Youth Development Center in Salinas. The assistance HSBC provides by promoting Volunteer Community Services within their company has brought many volunteers to our Clubs. We appreciate the level of support that brightens the lives of our Club members with social interaction and assistance with homework, recreation and all the programs that are ongoing throughout the day.
