    Expansion of Teen Programming for At-Risk Youth

    BGCMLA fulfills its mission by offering nationally recognized, research-based programs, and activities in our L.E.A.D. After-School and Summer Program. We offer state-of-the-art STEM labs, music studios, art rooms, learning centers, and college and career preparation. Now, BGCMLA is expanding our teen programming at the Watts and Venice Club. We are hiring a Teen Coordinator, hiring additional music staff, launching new STEM programming, and expanding College and Career Bound programs to ensure that all our teens are prepared to succeed.

    Social-Emotional Learning for At-Risk Youth

    As part of our broader effort to integrate a three-pronged Social-Emotional Development Strategy to build youth self-management, social awareness, and a growth mindset into all of our programs, we launched the pilot of Peaceful Connection, a youth violence prevention program in October 2022. It has been so successful that we want to expand Peaceful Connection to our fourth Club in Bell Gardens, and install a Calm Corner, a safe space where youth can learn tools to self-regulate.
