This year BGCP held the first annual Be Great youth development conference for Bay Area Boys & Girls Club staff. The week included training sessions on how to better work with teens, literacy and math instruction, member tracking software, classroom management, proper and constructive discipline, and much more. There was also a discussion panel with recent high school graduates who shared how the Clubs had helped them succeed as well as ideas on how we can still improve and better serve our teens.
The week provided an opportunity for staff from different Clubs and organizations to network, share ideas and start the school year with a renewed focus on our mission to serve the youth in our community.
