The Annual Report is our opportunity to share with you the wonderful things that happened with us this past year. But, it’s also a great opportunity to Thank everyone for their continued support of our kids. That support came in many forms this past year, there were those who gave of their time – at the club, on the board or on committees. There were those who supported us financially maybe for the first time or maybe for the umpteenth time. There were those who used their influence or associations to connect us to new sources of support. Whether you supported us with your time, donations or influence, I want to share a huge Thank You from all of us to you.

All this involvement resulted in our ability to strengthen our organization, to improve program quality, to reach more youth and to invest in the development of our incredibly dedicated Staff. It also allowed us to recruit for the much-needed role of Resource Development Director. It allowed us to deliver against the Boys and Girls Club of America Great Futures 2025 Priority Areas of Academic Success, Good Character and Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles. Most importantly, it allowed us to continue our Mission of Empowering all young people but especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible individuals.

Every day we continually provide a safe place for our kids to come after school and in the summer. They get to learn, play and grow. While being surrounded by people who truly care about them. In the years I have spent on the board, I have had the opportunity to interact with adults who were “Club Kids”. I can say to the person, that they always share a story of the special staff member that helped them get on or stay on the right track, about how the experience in the club was part of how they became who they are today and the successes they have achieved. Quite honestly, that’s all I really need to hear to know that what we do truly matters and impacts lives.

So again, Thank You and know that all your support – in the past, present or in the future - is truly appreciated.

Sincerely,

DeniseDenise Quinn, President

The Boys & Girls Club of Hamilton implements five key elements in its operations that provide for effective youth development. These five keys are:

1. A safe, positive environment: Club staff, facilities, program offerings and age-appropriate settings produce continuity, predictability and a sense of physical and emotional safety.

2. Fun: The Club generates happiness, fun and enjoyment for members. Members develop a strong sense of belonging through personal connections they establish with staff and peers.

3. Supportive relationships with peers and adults: Staff members actively cultivate such relationships to ensure that every member feels connected to one or more adults and can forge friendships with peers.

4. Opportunities and expectations: Club members acquire physical, social, technological, artistic, and life skills. The Club expects members to develop a moral character so they know right from wrong and behave ethically.

5. Recognition: The Club recognizes and affirms young people’s intrinsic worth and accomplishments.
