Post-Secondary Manager

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION:

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County’s mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens. Founded in 1989 as a single-site club in Hobe Sound serving 165 children, The Boys and Girls Clubs of Martin County (BGCMC) has grown to operate four clubs in Martin County reaching thousands of children and families per year. BGCMC’s vision is to provide a world-class enrichment experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who enters through its doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character and citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle.

Operating with an $8M budget, BGCMC’s programming reached 6,663 young people through programming focused on three core pillars: academic success, healthy lifestyles, and good character and citizenship. In each of these areas, BGCM’s programs show promising results thanks in part to its dedicated staff and innovative model using Americorps volunteers to serve as academic enrichment coaches. BGCMC also provided over 100K free and nutritious meals and over $500K in scholarships to the young people it serves.
