BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS OF THE PENINSULA DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR |
BGCP is the largest youth development organization in Silicon Valley with 140 employees and a budget of approximately $5,000,000. It has doubled in size over the past five years. It has an excellent staff united around its mission, an outstanding Board, and a loyal donor base.
Every day after school and in the summer, children come to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Peninsula to gain a sense of belonging, have fun, and form positive relationships with caring mentors. In neighborhoods where two-thirds of youth drop out of high school, Club members learn the importance of education and become part of a community of learners, wanting and expecting to do well in school. 1,400 youth regularly attend sites in East Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Redwood City.
BGCP is affiliated with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, which has 4,000 clubs across the country. However, BGCP is its own 501(c)3 organization, with its own Board of Directors, and is fully responsible for raising its entire budget. BGCA provides BGCP with many tangible benefits, including identifying funding sources, networking, training, and marketing. BGCP has become a model organization for other clubs across the country.
