          Boys & Girls Clubs currently reach only a small portion of the need in the state. Ideally, funds would assist Clubs in outreach to additional youth that would benefit from our services.

Additionally, Clubs are supporting youth and families recovering from the impact of COVID-19, including:
• Bridging the learning gap that was widened from time away from the classroom since March due to COVID-19, including virtual access to the Club, and engaging students who are not in the classroom during this school year due to COVID-19 with extended Club hours.
• Supporting critical social-emotional learning and trauma-informed care to address the mental health needs of youth most impacted.


What is the proposed length of time estimated by the entity to accomplish the purpose?
           One Year
