The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Volusia/Flagler Counties is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need the program most, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible, caring citizens and leaders. The organization states that it never takes a single approach to help kids succeed and uses caring mentors, safe Club spaces, and innovative, quality programs. Its core beliefs are a safe place to learn and grow, ongoing relationships with caring adult professionals, life-enhancing programs, character development experiences, and hope and opportunity.
The program includes activities that aim for members to graduate from high school on time, be ready for post-secondary education and a 21st-century career, and demonstrate good character, citizenship, and healthy lifestyles. Program elements focus on helping youth become responsible, caring citizens, participate in the democratic process, develop leadership skills, and take part in planning, decision-making, contributing to the Club and community, and celebrating national heritage. Activities also address physical fitness, stress reduction, positive use of leisure time, appreciation for the environment, interpersonal skills, creativity, and self-expression.
Club youth reports include that 90% said they can stand up for what is right, 54% of regularly attending members said they volunteered in their community, Club, school, or neighborhood at least once in the past year, and 92% said that as a leader they make sure everyone feels important. Workforce-related activities allow kids and teens to explore their interests and passions, develop employability skills, and apply their knowledge to real-world work experiences. The program also includes preventive efforts related to opioid, alcohol, and tobacco use.
