Mentor & Alumni Day highlights the support systems that help our members succeed beyond the Club. 💙
At Boys & Girls Clubs of the Northwest Suburbs, we’re grateful for the many mentors who show up, pour into our members, and help create spaces of belonging, encouragement, and growth every day. We also proudly welcome back our alumni (once members themselves) who return to give back, share their journeys, and inspire what’s possible.
It’s a cycle of support that doesn’t end when a program does- it continues through every connection made at the Club. 💙

Leadership starts with believing in yourself. 🔥
Today for BGCA Weeks Leader in Me Day, were celebrating the confidence, character, and leadership skills our members build every day. 
Our More Than Mowing team is a powerful example of what happens when young people are given opportunities to lead, take responsibility, and make a difference in their community.
Through teamwork, hard work, and real-world experiences, these members are growing into confident leaders who are learning that their voice, actions, and choices matter. We cant wait to see the impact they continue to make, both on the job and in their futures.

Is there a list we can get on to request "paid" services?

Celebrating BGCA Week! The future is closer than you think. 🚀 At the Center of Transformation Summit in Washington, D.C., our Impact Center members explored careers in AI, technology, aviation, engineering, and consulting while learning directly from industry leaders, including professionals from Amazon, Boeing, United Airlines, and Booz Allen. Through workforce development experiences, leadership sessions, and career exploration opportunities, members gained a firsthand look at the skills and industries shaping tomorrows workforce.
A special thank you to Emma for leading and supporting our teens throughout this incredible experience, and to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington for hosting the Center of Transformation Summit and making this opportunity possible. 🩵 
Experiences like these help our members dream bigger, build confidence, and discover whats possible for their futures.
