Project Title: General Operating Support
Project Description:
BGCMR’s mission is to empower young people, especially those from historically marginalized communities, to succeed in life. For over 65 years, BGCMR has offered youth a safe and supportive out-of-school environment. BGCMR delivers programs through five Clubs, a teen space, and a new state-of-the-art Teen & Community Center, strategically located in four different under-resourced neighborhoods: Richmond’s Northside, Southside, East End, and Petersburg. Through our consistent presence, youth develop the skills, social connections, and agency required to make positive decisions and stay on track. We strive to be an effective influence, ensuring youth are life-ready for college, technical training, military or gainful employment. Program offerings/learning opportunities are increasingly individualized and youth-led, enabling members to cultivate their voices for leadership and change. We are committed to providing more equitable access to extracurricular opportunities, ensuring physical and emotional safety for youth with adverse childhood experiences, and fostering strong relationships between youth and mentors. Our unique niche is our ability to impact young people over the long term, through a wide range of life stages. Though we are increasingly intentional about differentiating the services we provide to youth, teens and young adults, we believe that the key unmet need we are addressing occurs through the entire continuum of our services: the long-term, trusting and evolving relationships we are able to establish. We have historically seen 41% to 44% of members retained year over year, and are now re-engaging with alumni.
