Madison Square Boys and Girls Club programs aim to develop competencies, instill positive values, and increase opportunities for youth to participate fully in society, often making a critical difference between a troubled and stagnant future and one of promise and achievement. Our three priority outcomes are Academic Success, Good Character & Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles.
Academic Success: The goal of Madison's education programming is to provide a seamless framework of enhanced services that ensures that members become engaged in learning as early as possible, and continue to receive much-needed resources, guidance, and support as they progress academically and socially from early childhood to late adolescence. Our educational programs complement regular school-day activities, enhance academic performance, foster positive study habits, and encourage self-discipline, keeping youth on track as they transition through school and on to college. Specific programs include: Power Hour, Explorers Academy, DIY-STEM, Summer Brain Gain, Project Graduate Program, College Success Initiative, the Technology Program, among others.
Good Character & Citizenship: Madison delivers comprehensive youth development services with the goals of members becoming involved in their communities and demonstrating strong character. Through Torch Club (ages 10 to 12) and Keystone Club (ages 13 to 18), youth engage in community service and leadership opportunities that inspire strong character development, instill a sense of personal and community responsibility while helping build effective, positive strategies for responding to conflict. SMART Girls and Passport to Manhood are gender-specific initiatives for middle-school youth designed to empower participants to make smart decisions when confronted with peer pressure and find support during this critical stage of their development. Last, Youth of the Year is Madison’s premier leadership program, honoring outstanding youth who demonstrate academic excellence, community involvement and personal contribution to the Clubhouse.
Healthy Lifestyles: Madison's Healthy Lifestyles programming aims to educate youth on the importance of a healthy lifestyle and to cultivate their capacity to engage in positive behaviors that nurture their well-being. Our signature program, Triple Play: A Game Plan for the Mind, Body and Soul, is a holistic approach to teach youth about nutrition, encourage physical fitness, and instill in our members positive decision making that will have a tangible impact on their physical, social, and emotional development. In addition, Madison offers basketball leagues, a comprehensive aquatics program at two of our Clubs, and Youth Empowerment, an evidence-based program that helps young people resist drug, alcohol and tobacco use, make positive decisions and reduce stress levels.
