| Boys and Girls Clubs of America Boys & Girls Clubs of America's partnership with the military began during the Persian Gulf crisis. As parents in the Reserves and National Guard were deployed overseas, BGCA asked local Clubs to reach out to children in need, providing memberships and special programming to some 17,000 youth. Working with the Department of Defense, BGCA went on to develop formal partnerships with each branch of the Armed Forces. BGCA recognized that military Youth Centers have a long tradition of excellent service to youth. The BGCA partnership complements that tradition, offering Youth Center members consistent programming and stable support. No matter where families are transferred, children in any military community will find the same quality services and programs. |
