        Boys & Girls Clubs Can Help With The National Education Crisis!


        In the 2010 graduating class, three out of every 10 young people didn’t make the grade.1 Yet for African-American, Hispanic/Latino and Native Americans populations, this number is dramatically worse with just over half graduating on time.2 Low graduation rates contribute to increases in unemployment, poor health, crime and drug use. It lowers America’s tax revenue and increases its public assistance expenses. Our young people are future workers, voters and community members. They are our neighbors. When we fail kids, we fail our communities and ourselves. It’s time to give our children and our country a better and brighter future.
