Advocating for America’s Youth

Every kid in America deserves access and opportunities that support them in reaching their full potential. But all too often, kids face systemic barriers to their success.

Our advocacy ensures youth voices are heard in their local communities and at the state and federal level as we champion policies and solutions that will have the greatest impact on the youth of this country. Boys & Girls Clubs of America is committed to bringing Club kids and staff to the table to ensure safety, digital access, meals and more are priorities at the state and national level.

And along the way, we show kids and teens how to become their own change agents and advocates. We help kids elevate their voices on the issues that matter most to them. We show them that their opinions, feelings and perspectives matter. They stand up and speak out – and the world is taking notice.
