Many of our members face barriers such as poverty, limited access to technology, or lack of academic resources. Our Clubs create safe, structured, and nurturing environments where caring mentors help young people build confidence, strengthen academic skills, and reach their full potential.<br \/>\nThrough daily homework help, tutoring, literacy, and STEM enrichment, members develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities while discovering a love of learning. Project-based activities connect classroom lessons to real-world experiences, helping youth gain the knowledge and motivation to take ownership of their education. Our close partnerships with local schools ensure that Club programs align with academic goals and provide targeted support to students who need it most.<br \/>\nThe program also emphasizes character development, leadership, and goal setting; key components that help youth thrive beyond the classroom. Teens participate in college and career readiness workshops, explore future professions, and gain practical skills such as r\u00e9sum\u00e9 writing and interview preparation. Our goal is for more than 85% of teens to graduate on time, have a postsecondary plan, and feel prepared to enter the workforce with confidence.<br \/>\nBy combining academic enrichment, mentoring, and future-focused guidance, the Academic Success Program empowers youth to see themselves as capable, resilient learners. Each year, over 1,600 Club members build the tools they need not only to succeed academically but also to thrive personally and professionally, enabling every young person to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens\n<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: $1,370,022<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): United Way, Aflac, Taco Bell, J.W. and Ethel Woodruff Foundation, Arthur Blank Foundation, Blue Bird School Bus Foundation, Arby&#8217;s Inspire Foundation<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: Fall 2026 thru Summer 2027 programing during out of school hours<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Columbus, GA and the Chattahoochee Valley<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 6 to 18<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Ms<br \/>\nContact First Name: Mary<br \/>\nContact Last Name: Garcia<br \/>\nContact Title: Director of Grants &amp; Compliance Managment<br \/>\nContact Phone: 7065969330<br \/>\nContact Email: grants@bgc-colsga.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: BOYS &amp; GIRLS CLUBS OF THE CHATTAHOOCHEE VALLEY INC Legal Name (if Different): Also Known As: Boys &amp; Girls Clubs Mailing Address: 1700 Buena Vista Rd City: COLUMBUS State: Georgia Postal Code: 31906 Main Phone: 7065969330 Main Fax: Organization Website: https:\/\/www.bgc-colsga.org\/ Employer ID Number: 581174393 Organization Tax [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8692"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8692\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8693,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8692\/revisions\/8693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
