Programs

The programs of the Boys & Girls Clubs are carefully designed to develop character and life-enhancing skills. When youth leave the Clubs at age 18, they will have:

A positive self-identity
Scholastic, career, social, emotional and cultural competencies
A desire to remain involved in their community
Health and well-being
A moral compass

More than 25 national programs are available in the areas of education, the environment, health, the arts, careers, alcohol/drug and pregnancy prevention, gang prevention, leadership development and athletics.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Nampa develops our region’s youth by instilling a sense of:

Competence
The feeling there is something boys and girls can do and do well.

Belonging
A setting where young people know the "fit" and are accepted.

Influence

A chance to be heard and to influence decisions.

Usefulness
The opportunity to do something of value for other people.

When this strtegy in fully implemented, self-esteem is enhanced and an environment is created that helps girls and boys achieve their full potential.
