Community input and collaboration regarding the proposal is welcomed from parents, students, teachers, and other community stakeholders invested in positive youth development and academic success. BGCCG is also engaged in a consultative process with private schools located in the catchment areas of targeted public schools in order to ensure equitable access to services.

The purpose of the federally funded 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) are to support additional learning time for students in grades K-12 before and/or after school and during the summer that provides creative and engaging academic enrichment opportunities that reduce risk of academic failure.

In addition to reinforcing and complementing the regular academic program of participating students, BGCCG will offer families of students served by the program opportunities for active and meaningful engagement in their children’s education. BGCCG will submit the application on or before the deadline of Friday, January 30, 2025.

Questions or public input regarding the 21st CCLC program and BGCCG’s proposal may be directed to Phillip Bryant, Chief Executive Officer of BGCCG, at pbryant@bgccg.org

Last week, Community Partners @geico Philanthropic Foundation launched our Capital Campaign aimed at reopening the Carl D. Thomas Unit. With a fundraising target of $250,000, GEICO generously stepped up with a donation of $20,000.

They also had the opportunity to tour the currently closed facility to better understand the daily lives of Central Georgia Club Kids. We would like to take a moment to express our gratitude to GEICO for their generous financial support.

We invite local businesses, individuals, and supporters to click the link below and help us achieve our goal. Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a difference in reopening our doors and providing children with a safe space to simply enjoy being kids again.

Visit www.bgccg.org/give-today and select the Capital Campaign dropdown option. Donate today!

Our friends at @GEICO had a fantastic time touring our Carl D. Thomas Unit. They got to explore various areas including the library, Teen Lounge, Music Room, Game Room, Gym, and so much more!

We believe it’s essential to showcase to our supporters and investors the environments that benefit the club kids they help. It’s important for them to see what that safe space looks like.

Many expressed during the tour how they wished they had a safe haven like the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Georgia when they were younger.

This certainly highlights the significance of having a nurturing place within your community.

Consider supporting this capital campaign today. Www.bgccg.org
