Sixty-six interns participating in the St. Louis Internship Program have reached the halfway point of their summer work experiences as they continue to put into practice the skills and abilities they have learned. Participants are working in full-time internships throughout Metropolitan St. Louis (including a few at BGCSTL) in industries such as accounting/consultancy, social services, information technology and law. At the same time these young people are expanding their networks and continuing to hone their professional and technical skills. Nine members are participating in a virtual healthcare internship, four in Cybersecurity sessions and twenty-six enrolled in the “Pre-Internship Component” where they completed S.U.I.T.S. (Students Using Intellect to Soar) Summer Institute which includes a two-week experience with Maryville University.

Summer Highlights

While we continue to monitor public health guidelines and prioritize the safety of our members, staff, and their families, it has been wonderful to see so many smiling faces for in-person programming this summer at eleven BGCSTL locations. Campers participated in everything from the new Esports program, to golfing and tennis lessons, a few field trips, swim lessons, theatre arts programming, financial education, healthy habits, tee ball and so much more!! It’s been a summer filled with fun experiences that we’ve been sharing on social media all summer long! To view many of the campers experiences in photos and videos, click here.

We will be offering afterschool and back to school programs at many of our locations during the academic year starting on the first day of school. Programs include academic support services (tutoring and homework help), sports and fitness programs, visual and performing arts, and much more. Contact your Club for additional details about program offerings, fees and scholarships.
