Club Dollars, Field Trip & Club Store
All participants are eligible to earn Club Dollars by participating in Summer Fun activities. Bonus Club Dollars may be earned by being selected “Student of the Day” for outstanding behavior.

Members can use their Club Dollars to reserve a space on field trips and to shop at Club Store. Members can also save their Club Dollars for future purchases.

Members must deposit the Club Dollars they earn by the deadlines announced during daily briefings in order to reserve their space on fieldtrips or to shop at Club Store.

Youth Development Strategy

Boys & Girls Clubs strive to instill…

a sense of competence... the feeling there are things boys and girls can do, and do well.

a sense of usefulness... the opportunity to do something of value for other people.

a sense of belonging... a setting where an individual knows he or she has a place where he or she “fits”, and is accepted.

a sense of power or influence...a chance to be heard and to influence decisions.

When our strategy is fully implemented, the self-esteem of girls and boys is enhanced and an environment is created which helps them achieve their full potential.

Individual - Individual assistance is a purposeful contact made by a Club worker with a girl or boy on a one-to-one basis.

Small Group - Small numbers of members who meet regularly with an adult leader for a specific program or purpose.

Large Group or Drop-In Activities - provides informal and individual involvement to help achieve a high level of social skill, confidence and participation.
