Partners

Boys & Girls Clubs of Kentuckiana participates in a number of community and state-wide collaborations to support a positive youth development approach and to address the high school drop-out crisis.

	We are an affiliate in good standing of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. This affiliation gives BGCK access to nationally developed programs and other resources, such as marketing and evaluation tools.
	20% of all Dare to Care Kids' Cafes are housed in Boys & Girls Clubs of Kentuckiana facilities. Through this program we serve meals twice weekly to members in our Jeffersonville and Shawnee Clubs and three times a week at the Ed Endres Club.
	Our newest partnership is with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kentuckiana which matches their “bigs” with our “littles” in a site-based program. These matches are intentionally designed to bring adult mentors into our Clubs to work with our Club members toward our graduation goals.
