Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s new strategic direction, Future Ready: Agenda for Collective Impact, will shape the direction of Native Clubs in the years ahead. With an eye on growth, quality and outcomes, this new initiative will inform our collaborative work with Boys & Girls Clubs on Native Lands as we build upon existing strength to best serve Native youth, families and communities.

The initiative’s five priority areas act as a roadmap for how Native Clubs will be able to generate the most collective impact.

Future Ready: Agenda for Collective Impact

Our Strategic Priorities

Safety is foundational to all we do. We strive to set a new standard for the safety and protection of all young people.

We will demonstrate strong financial health, sound governance and sustainable organizational practices that promote growth and innovation in existing organizations and new growth on Native Lands

We will attract, retain and develop diverse, transformational leaders at all levels through customized and culturally relevant training at all levels

We will deliver high-quality, culturally relevant youth development practices and intentional learning experiences to every member, every day, building skills and providing experiences that lead to positive outcomes

We will influence public opinion and action to elevate the youth development sector and issues that affect Indigenous youth and teens

We will leverage data and technology as strategic advantages in every aspect of our organization

BGCA Native Services will continue working alongside Native Boys & Girls Clubs to ensure that this roadmap and these priority areas incorporate local strategies to drive positive outcomes. With your support and partnership, we will make certain that the future readiness of Native Clubs yields the most collective impact.
