50 YEARS OF GROWTH

2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Page 2: 50 YEARS OF GROWTHachieve academic success, live healthy lifestyles and develop good character and leadership skills. Clubs are strategically located in low-income neighborhoods where

Dear FrienDs -

At the conclusion of our 50th year in the metro Denver community, we could not be more proud of all that we have accomplished: 50 years of providing hope, support and inspiration toyoung people for whom, had it not been for the Clubs, those influences may have gone missingin their lives.

More importantly, however, we are excitedand inspired by what’s to come: a great futurefor every single child in metro Denver.

That is why, even after 50 years, the Clubs continue to grow, not only to new communities, but to new levels of impact. In our 50th year, we enrolled more than 12,000 members and provided 1,240,432 hours of targeted programming to help young people succeed in school, develop healthy habits and become true leaders in their community. On any given day, our Clubs open their doors to young people who come to us to do their homework in a safe, quiet comfortable spot, get a warm meal, talk with a caring adult, learn digital photography, build a robot, play on a team, learn how to resist peer pressure, or just…be a kid – joyful, energetic, curious and full of infinite potential for our community and our world.

The summer of 2011 was particularly full of growth, as we welcomed into our family the Beacon Neighborhood Centers and the highly successful PACE (Promoting Academics and Character Education) program.

With the addition of these mission-aligned programs, wecurrently operate:

7 dedicated youth-serving Club facilities 7 school-based Club centers 2 specialized suspension-intervention program sites 1 magical summer camp in the Indian Peak Wilderness

Phwew! As anyone who visits even ONE Club site says, that’s a lot going on! But we’re not stopping there. In 2012, we’ll be working on TWO new sites. In Commerce City, we’ll be laying down plans for an expanded facility, and in Northeast Park Hill we’ll actually be breaking ground on a new Club site thanks to the unprecedented and incredibly generous support of the Anschutz Foundation. This new site will be especially important to us, as it will erase the scar of gang-related violence that led to the arson of the Holly Shopping Center, and replace it with the safety, positivity, and hope that characterize our Clubs.

Transformation and improvement in the lives of young people and the communities where they live are what the Clubs have always been, and always will be, all about. As we look forward with pride and hope to our next 50 years in the Denver community, we are incredibly grateful to have the support of each individual and institution that invests in our young people by supporting the Clubs. With your help, we will pursue, with unwavering commitment, our goal to reach every child who needs us the most.

With gratitude for your past support and excitement for ourfuture partnership, we present to you the 2011 Annual Reportto the community.

Clubs are accessible to everyone. Any youngperson, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or income can join the Club.

Our proven, nationally-recognized programsdevelop the assets that youth need to succeedin life and build great futures.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver’s programsare rooted in Youth Development Strategy, which assures that all members have positive experiences that contribute to a positive self esteem. The YouthDevelopment Strategy is a strength-based approach whereby we nurture each member’s individual strengths. In doing so, we nurture the positive identity of each of our members, providing opportunities for them to succeed in everythingthey do, inside and outside of the Club.

Club programs are designed to instill a sense of…

Competency – the feeling there is something they can do well.

Usefulness – the opportunity to do something of value for other people.

Belonging – a setting where young people know they fit in and are accepted.

Power or Influence – a chance to be heard and make an impact in the lives of others.

THis is WHaT We DO.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver is anon-profit organization that provides youngpeople ages 6-18 with a safe, positive place tospend time after school and during the summer.

Fourteen neighborhood Clubs, two school-based intervention programs, and an 80-acre residential summer camp provide programs that help saveand change the lives of more than 12,000 youth.Boys & Girls Clubs’ programming helps youth achieve academic success, live healthy lifestylesand develop good character and leadership skills.

Clubs are strategically located in low-income neighborhoods where they are needed most,and are accessible to all youth for a membershipfee of just $2 per year.

Since 1961, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denverhas been helping kids from tough neighborhoods stay out of trouble, stay in school, and succeedin life.

Clubs are places, actual neighborhood-based buildings, designed and dedicated solely foryouth programs and activities.

Clubs are open when they are needed most –after school and during the summer whenkids have free time and need positive,productive outlets.

Clubs are directed and staffed by trained youth development professionals who serve as rolemodels and mentors. Volunteers provide key supplementary support.

50th anniversarY

BeginningsInitially, talk of the first Boys’ Clubin Denver began in 1937 by a group of local citizens who recognized the need for a positive outlet for young men in the Denver community. Plans were drawn up and bylaws created, but the project was halted with the beginning of World War II.

In the mid-1950s, Boys’ Club advocate,J. Churchill Owen, called upon friends and previous planners to help set the project back in motion. By 1961, their dreams were turned into a reality, and the first Denver Boys’ Club openedits doors.

The first Club in Denver came at a time when Boys Clubs of America wasrapidly growing into a major movement. In a decade where social change and troubled times were abundant, the Denver Boys’ Club looked to reach out to juvenile delinquent boys that needed vocational training and a place to go.

8

Shortly after the Club opened, the community saw the positive impact of having a Club in their neighborhoods. In general, the arrest rates for juveniles committing violent crimes were down. Shoplifting in Lincoln Park dropped 90 percent, and the median age of those committing crimes went from age 16to age 22.

During the 1960s, the Arthur E. Johnson and J. Churchill Owen branches opened, and membership skyrocketed to nearly 5,000 Denver youth. As the need for quality afterschool programming became increasingly evident, Cluband program growth continued.

J. CHurCHiLL OWen It is fair to say that without the determinationof J. Churchill Owen, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver may never have had the footing that has allowed it to become the organization it is today. When the idea of opening a Boys’ Club first came about in Denver, Owen spearheaded the project. Over the course of several decades, he worked to see the first Club launch. When the first Boys’ Club opened on September 21, 1961, it served more than 800 children and was later named in his honor. From 1961 until 1970, Owen served as President of the Denver Boys’ Clubs Board of Directors.

WiLLiaM e. COPeWilliam E. Cope served as one of the founding fathers of the Denver Boys’ Club, as well as the Clubs’ first Executive Director. A key player throughout Club history, Cope’s passion andinvolvement was evident to the entire community. Often, Cope spoke publiclyof the importance of the Clubs and their missionto raise upstanding Denver citizens. In 1993, the Lincoln Park Branch, which originally opened in 1961, was renamed the William E. Cope Branch in his honor. Today, the Club serves more than 1,000 members every year.

LinCOLn ParK/ WiLLiaM e. COPe BranCH Originally opened in 1961, the Lincoln Park branch relocated to its current location in 1967. The Club opened at the intersection of 8th Ave. and Inca St. in what was once a Safeway supermarket. In 1993, the Club was renamed the William E. Cope Branch to honor Bill Cope, the first Executive Director of the Denver Boys Club.

arTHur e. JOHnsOn BranCH One of the first Clubs in Denver,this branch opened in 1965 in whatwas once a Jewish Community Center.It was named in the honor of ArthurE. Johnson, a major financial supporter of the Clubs. In addition, the Johnson family financially supported the kid-friendly remodel of the Club in 1969. The Club now serves an average of153 kids per day, and nearly 1,000 members per year!

J. CHurCHiLL OWen BranCH Named after founding father J.Churchill Owen, this Club openedin 1966. Formerly known as theWestside Club, the location was built specifically to serve as a Boys’ Club,and modeled after the very successful Boys’ Club branch in National City,Calif. In 1972, the Club expanded to include a pool and ball fields. When the Placido De Santiago Memorial Teen Center opened in 2009, the pool space was converted into a separate, special space specifically for teen members. The teen center serves an additional 70-80 youth per day, and nearly 400 more youth each year.

gaTes CaMP Located in Ward, Colo., just outsideof Boulder, Gates Camp was knownas the Lodge of Pines Camp until itwas donated to the Denver Boys’ Clubin April of 1971. Camp has long provided an outlet for hundreds of Club members to escape the pressures of urban life and retreat into the great outdoors each summer. With 80 acres of wide open space, campers participate in classic activities like hiking, rock climbing, salamander hunting, and singingaround a camp fire.

BOeTTCHer BranCH In August of 1984, an old churchwas purchased and converted into the Boettcher Branch. The location provides a full range of activities and programs for Aurora children. Chalk full of excitement and energy, this Club is constantly in “go” mode, especially when it comes to their very active arts and dance program. The Club serves more than 110 members per day, and nearly 1,200 youth per year.

geOrge M. WiLFLeY BranCH Named after longtime supporter George M. Wilfley, this branch opened in 2000 to serve Denver’s Sunnyside neighborhood in the northwest part of Denver. Located in a neighborhood where it is needed most, the building was originally made possible through a grant from the Denver Housing Authority. The Club serves 1,403 kids per year, and an average of 185 youth per day. This Club was also the home of the first National Youth of the Year winner from Denver, Shonetta Henry.

Denver BrOnCOs BranCH In the early 2000’s the Montbello neighborhood attracted a large amount of gang activity due to the economic downturn and low housing prices. Asa result, the Denver Broncos Branch was opened. The Darrant Williams Memorial Teen Center, the first of the teen centers to open in the Clubs, was opened in memorial of the former Denver Broncos player in 2008. The Denver Broncos Branch, the only branch named after an NFL team, serves nearly 230 Club members per day, and 1,845 per year.

rOBerT M. sHOPneCK BranCH Opened in 2007, the Brighton branchis named after longtime supporter RobertM. Shopneck. This manufacturing and farm community had a need for a central neighborhood center where youth could come to spend positive time. Today, the Shopneck Branch serves the largest amount of Club members, seeing 1,863 children per year.

COMMerCe CiTY BranCH Located at Kearney Middle School, this school-based Club opened in November of 2007. By combining designated Boys & Girls Club space with shared spaces within Kearney Middle School, the branch provides several hundred young people from this industrial neighborhood with the full scope of Boys & Girls Clubs programming. In 2012, the Club will begin building an independent site on what was once a Greyhound race track.

JeFFersOn COunTY BranCHIn August 2010, the Jefferson County Branch opened its doors thanks to a collaboration with the city of Lakewood and Jefferson County. This Club is located at O’Connell Middle School.Each year, Club members grow produce in their garden and hold farmer’s markets to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to people in their community. The opening of the Club helped lead the city of Lakewood to be voted an All American City in 2011. Within one year, the Club has served nearly 875 kids.

BeaCOn CenTers In the summer of 2011, five Beacon Neighborhood Centers were added to the Boys & Girls Clubs program lineup. Located in five separate school-based sites, the Beacon Neighborhood Centers serve 500 Club members per year.

PaCe PrOgraM Started in 2001, the PACE program is a unique response to “problematic” students as an alternative to traditional disciplinary action alone. Staff are able to help students identify the causes of their behaviors as well as recognize their strengths and values. PACE, which stands for Promoting Academics & Character Education, operates program sites in both the Baker and Montbello neighborhoods.

WHere W

e are TODaYFifty years after the first Clubopened its doors, we have seen tremendous growth in the numberof kids we serve, Club locations we operate, and relationships we havemade within our community. We now operate 14 Clubs, two intervention programs, and one summer camp.

In 2011, we served more than 12,000 children who look to us for not only a safe place to go, but also access to programs and caring adults that willhelp them to build great futures. On average, our members spend between3-5 hours at the Club every time they visit. Last year, we also provided 1,240,432 program hours to the youth that come to the Clubs.

In August, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver reached a major milestone, expanding our services, serving 500 additional children each day. The expansion included five Denver-area Beacon Neighborhood Centers and two PACE school-day intervention programs.

Activities at the Beacon Neighborhood Centers closely align with the programming of Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver, including academic activities such as tutoring and homework help, enrichment activities through arts and culture, career exploration, leadership and technology, and other supportive services. The centers follow a nationally-recognized, evidence-based service delivery model that positively influences youth, families, and the community. The premise of this model is that youth, families, schools and the community are better served through partnerships between the school district, community-based organizations, government and others – utilizing the school building well beyond the typical eight-hour school day.

The PACE (Promoting Academics & Character Education) Program is a collaboration between Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver, Denver Public Schools and the Safe City Office. PACE operates classrooms in the Baker and Montbello neighborhoods.

It is a unique response to “problematic” students; as an alternative to traditional disciplinary action alone, and througha strengths-based approach, staff areable to help students identify the causesof their behaviors as well as recognize their strengths and values.

We are honored to have had the opportunity to serve the Denver community for the last 50 years. Starting the next chapter in our organization’s history, we are enthusiastic to expand our impactand serve the children who rely on Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denverfor a place to call a second home.

Our 80-acre residential camp is nestled in the Indian Peaks Wilderness and welcomes morethan 500 Club members each summer. Boys and girls attenda five-day, gender-specific camp session where they can indulge in the wonders of Mother Nature. For many campers, this is their first experience leaving an urban environment for the peace and tranquility of the Coloradooutdoors. It’s a time for kidsto be kids – an experience manyof our Club members are not afforded in their every day lives.

From dawn until dusk, campers take part in a variety of programs including fishing, canoeing, hiking, rock climbing, repelling and archery. Most importantly, kids build lifelong friendships, participate in team-building exercises, share stories around the campfire and take home important life lessons.

The culmination of the week’s adventures allows campers to come together and discuss what fears they have overcome and lessons they have learned. A week at Gates Camp becomes a lifelong memory for the campers who attend.

Five PiLLars OF gaTes CaMPCampers have the opportunityto explore who they are throughthe lens of our “Five Pillars” of Gates Camp. These include: Leadership, Enthusiasm, Respect, Cooperation and Honesty. Campers are challenged throughout their time at Gates Camp to utilize their heads, hearts, and hands as they become increasingly self-aware of who they are and what they have to offer the world.
