ONE. Just one.

Instead of focusing on the enormity of the problem of disadvantaged youth, reduce the problem to a manageable size.

ONE. Just one boy or girl.

Eyes opened, mind engaged, possibilities seen for the first time, positive thoughts of a future, the streets seen as a pathway, not a dead end.

Imagine she or he in a data-packed, curriculum-based program, engaged in activities designed to help reach positive outcomes: Academic Success, Good Character, Healthy Lifestyles.

Real career exploration for today's jobs, tomorrow's jobs.

He or she isn't placed somewhere after school to avoid trouble, this young person is nurtured to achieve success, to discover and develop skills, to discover and develop individual potential.

ONE. Just one who might change everything.

Now, multiply that by thousands. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis is taking its proven programming to schools in partnership with the City of Memphis, Mayor Jim Strickland, the Memphis City Council, and Memphis Shelby County Schools.

We've expanded into 11 high schools bringing our total number of sites to 20, and adding 1,800 young people to our membership now approaching 5,000.

100% graduation.

100% focus on character and career development.

100% job placement from our Juice Plus+ Technical Training Center.

ONE. Just One.

You. Your support is paramount as the value of what we're doing becomes more profound, as our positive growth produces greater financial challenges and needs. As YOU become the KEY.

There are thousands upon thousands of young people who still need us. We can still serve them, we can still raise hope, we can still change their future and our tomorrow.

One. Just one. And every one reached is the difference we make together.

 Together, let’s give kids the moments they need now to make great futures possible.
