Mission
To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.
Notes from the nonprofit
Our Delta communities are only as healthy and safe as the opportunities we provide our children, particularly those children who need us most. Your continued support for your local Boys & Girls Club helps to inspire our children to dream big, create, and build a better future for themselves and this unique part of the world, our Mississippi Delta. Partnerships remain an essential part of our success. Thanks to the excellent work of our Club directors and local community volunteers, we are able to build support among local governments, school districts, and churches in many of our communities. As we expand services and reach more children throughout the Delta, we hope you will be mindful of our excellent work and consider offering your time, talent, and resources to your local Club and our Clubs throughout the Delta.

Goals & Strategy
Learn about the organization's key goals, strategies, capabilities, and progress.
Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We aim to serve as many youth throughout the Mississippi Delta as possible through our 9 club-sites in the Delta the state. We currently have Club and community outreach programs in 9 cities in the Delta: Batesville, Clarksdale, Grenada, Greenwood, Itta Bena, Jonestown, Lexington, Tunica, and Yazoo City. Our programmatic goals are to ensure academic success, create healthy lifestyles, and foster good character and citizenship for every child we serve.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We will utilize the Formula for Impact Assessment Tool which is designed to help our Clubs:
Assess the impact of their current programs.
Develop annual Formula for Impact Action Plans to guide staff in strengthening the Club Experience for all members.
Define job expectations for all Club staff.
Identify areas of need for staff training.
Orient new staff and volunteers to the overall Club program and their role in making a difference in the lives of Club members.
Keep the Formula for Impact and the outcome-driven Club Experience at the forefront of the daily work of every youth development professional.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have existed as a non-profit youth development organization in the most impoverished region of the country established in 2002 by a group of individuals dedicated to improving the lives of the children in the region. Our staff members are trained youth development professionals who are dedicated to our core programming objectives. Our funders are diverse and truly invested in the mission of our organization.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
90% of our club members graduate from high school. 26% go on to complete a college degree program. We would like those percentages (both categories) to increase by 5% over the next three years.
How we listen
Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.
-
Who are the people you serve with your mission?
Youth in need (ages 6-18) and their families
-
How is your organization collecting feedback from the people you serve?
Electronic surveys (by email, tablet, etc.), Suggestion box/email, Regular conversations with youth and their primary caregivers,
-
How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve?
To identify and remedy poor client service experiences, To identify bright spots and enhance positive service experiences, To make fundamental changes to our programs and/or operations, To inform the development of new programs/projects, To identify where we are less inclusive or equitable across demographic groups, To strengthen relationships with the people we serve, To understand people's needs and how we can help them achieve their goals,
-
What significant change resulted from feedback?
Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic our programs have been virtual. Our Unit Directors do regular wellness checks with members, meal distribution focus on entire families, and homework assistance. Our Clubs have just reopened their doors to in person programming. In addition to our traditional staff positions we now hire custodial staff to disinfect the Clubs all through the day and we now have dedicated consumables for each Club member and we have purchased enough STEM kits, Chromebooks, and Amazon Fire Tablets for each member to have dedicated technology products as well. Programs have extended their focus on learning loss, fitness, SEL, Trauma informed care, and Youth Voice.
-
With whom is the organization sharing feedback?
The people we serve, Our staff, Our board, Our funders, Our community partners,
-
How has asking for feedback from the people you serve changed your relationship?
Seeking feedback from our members and their families is not a new practice for our organization. We have always used their feedback as we collect metrics about the efficacy of the programs we offer.
-
Which of the following feedback practices does your organization routinely carry out?
We collect feedback from the people we serve at least annually, We take steps to get feedback from marginalized or under-represented people, We aim to collect feedback from as many people we serve as possible, We take steps to ensure people feel comfortable being honest with us, We look for patterns in feedback based on people’s interactions with us (e.g., site, frequency of service, etc.), We engage the people who provide feedback in looking for ways we can improve in response, We act on the feedback we receive,
-
What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?
We don't have any major challenges to collecting feedback,
