Boys & Girls Clubs of Carson

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Carson Digital Arts program is rooted in the STEAM educational philosophy that children will engage and learn more expansively through a cross-disciplinary approach, in this case combining digital skills and literacy and the arts including history and cultures around the world. This after-school program allows youth, TK-12th grade, to create art using iPads, Apple pencils and/or Samsung crayons - melding creative self-expression with digital skills. Each lesson touches on a different art movement or period of history.

BGCC’s STEM Education Program raises Math and Science proficiencies, applies learning to everyday situations, increases STEM interest, and prepares youth to compete in a workforce that is increasingly reliant on science and technology. An inquiry based program that facilitates learning by guiding kids with questions as they try to find a solution to the issue or experiment at hand, instead of teaching what to do and how to do it. Hands-on STEM projects teach kids to evolve and improve on their capacities to match the changing world around them.

The BGCC College & Career Access Program is designed to guide underserved youth ages 6-18, with the support of a Case Manager, as they discover their passions as well as their paths into college and the workforce. Our College Bound Program empowers youth of all ages to make positive academic decisions about financial aid and college. Our Workforce Development Program shares with teens the confidence to be proactive in developing skills to succeed in today’s evolving workforce.

We will expand and enhance our College Access Initiative in Carson and South Los Angeles. Students (6th to 12th grade) will receive a wide range of college access services and career prep and exposure activities through our comprehensive, high-quality, outcome driven program designed to keep middle school and high school students on the path towards their college and career goals.
