About
At Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club, we engage our teens in a positive and practical approach to preparing for a college education. We provide a great, safe, supportive and productive space for our members to learn and grow as unique individuals with proactive programs geared towards their future. Many come from homes where English is not the primary language spoken and where they will be the first in their family to attend college. Our expected outcome is for all our teens to be on track to graduate from high school and to go on to college. In Project Learn and STEM, our teens on a daily basis participate in high yield learning activities, strengthening their reading and math skills and focusing on their ability to analyze data, think critically and solve problems. Our staff works with our teens to strengthen their English and essay writing skills as part of the college prep program. Teens also receive training in our tech center to strengthen their research skills needed for college searches and projects for school. On a weekly basis, teens attend SAT classes to learn the strategies, time-management and academic skills needed for standardized testing. The financial literacy needed for college is provided through a comprehensive program called Money Matters for both teens and their parents. On a monthly basis, our teens visit universities and colleges in the tri-state area on weekends. Twice a year, a group of teens go on a multi-day and night college tour to visit schools during winter and summer breaks. For our high school seniors, one-on-one assistance is provided to complete applications for admissions, scholarships, and financial aid. Our Keystone Club provides an opportunity for our teens to build their leadership and personal skills and to give back to their community while building their resumes and their confidence. In 2018, Keystone Club alone performed more than 2000 hours of community service. The City Club introduces our teens to the exciting cultural advantages of New York City, with trips to museums, theater, and other cultural sites. Many of our participants come from underprivileged families who would not otherwise have this opportunity. The success of our program relies on the strength of the mentoring relationships developed by our staff. The club also offers programs in performing and visual arts to foster academic performance. During the summer, our teen center provides a drop-in program and a series of teen trips in addition to a teen tour trip, combining travel and service. In 2018, the teen department served 633 teens in grades 6 - 12.
