In January 2010, Google Inc., through their Charitable Giving Fund of Tides Foundation, joined with BGCA to provide support in the area of education and career programming.

Although Boys & Girls Clubs provide national programs such as PowerHour (homework assistance), Money Matters (financial literacy) and CareerLaunch (job readiness and career exploration) as part of the Every Member, Every Year strategy, there exists a great need to ensure the fidelity of these programs at a local level and be able to demonstrate their success in helping youth graduate with a plan for the future. The support from the Google Inc., Charitable Giving Fund, will make it possible for BGCA to implement a strategy that will gather and promote best practices in education and career prep programming and a technological solution to measure the impact they are having on youth participants.
