Boys & Girls Clubs have a proven blueprint for helping kids and teens build a path to success after high school. Future Ready is about being better, bigger and bolder on behalf of the kids and teens in Hall, Habersham, and Forsyth Counties.
It’s a tough world out there. It’s no secret that kids and teens today – as in every generation – face a myriad of challenges. One in six lives in poverty. Most are falling behind in basic academic disciplines such as reading and math. Emotional and mental health issues are pervasive, affecting young people across all demographic boundaries. College enrollments are down, and many teens are seeking a sense of purpose and direction as they transition into early adulthood.
Uniquely positioned to lead, we understand that there's a reason young people want to come to our clubs - and parents want to send them. Staffed with caring adult mentors, we provide safe and inclusive learning environments. Our high-quality, evidence-informed programming supports young people's aspirations and helps them find their unique voice. We change lives by cultivating purpose and ambition, enabling outcomes and speaking up for young people.
Down through the decades, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier have steadfastly charted a constructive path forward. We’ve innovated and adapted, reimagining ourselves and anticipating the needs of young people. In the communities we serve and the public spaces we inhabit, we have stood as a strong voice and a reassuring presence, trusted and relied upon to inspire greatness in the next generation and beyond.
And, importantly, we’ve done it – and will continue to do it in 2025 – together, pooling our talent and experience and marshalling the awesome force of collective impact. When we do this, the weight of our contribution is increased tenfold, as we become far greater than the sum of our parts.
