    BGCP ClubHouse Initiative

    Through the ClubHouse Initiative, BGCP has transformed members’ experience at the Club during COVID-19 into an engaging, community-building opportunity that fosters a sense of belonging and sparks creativity and learning. Club members’ self-contained small groups are transformed into Houses, chosen based on cultural identity and positive values, which work together on enrichment and educational projects and compete in weekly challenges. LA2050 would support expansion of the Initiative and the creation of a toolkit to share with others.
