North Carolina Mentoring Initiative
 
  Boys and Girls Clubs of NC
 
  The Boys and Girls Club movement is a nationwide affiliation of local, autonomous organizations and Boys and Girls Clubs of America working to help youth of all backgrounds, with special concern for those from disadvantaged circumstances, develop the qualities needed to become responsible citizens and leaders.
 
  Principles
  • Boys and Girls Clubs are for boys and girls. They have a girl and boy membership and satisfy the age-old desire of boys and girls to have a "club" of their own.
  • Have full-time professional leadership, supplemented by part-time workers and volunteers.
  • Require no proof of "good character." They help and guide girls and boys who may be in danger of acquiring, or who have already acquired, unacceptable habits and attitudes, as well as boys and girls of good character.
  • Have a varied and diversified program that recognizes and responds to the collective and individual needs of boys and girls. Some program areas include personal and educational development, citizenship and leadership development, cultural enrichment, health and physical education, social recreation and environmental education.
 
  Boys and Girls Clubs offer the youth a sense of:
  • Competence, a feeling that they can do, and do well.
  • Usefulness, the opportunity to do something of value for other people.
  • Belonging, a setting where an individual feels safe and secure.
  • Influence, a chance to be heard, and make a difference.
