Taco Bell Foundation for Teens

Taco Bell Foundation for Teens’ vision to inspire teens to graduate from high school by providing them with career, college and community experiences aligns with BGCA’s own mission.
For 14 years, Taco Bell Foundation for Teens has supported BGCA’s work with teens through a national partnership and at local Clubs. This long-term strategic initiative has resulted in more than $20 million in donations to date.

As a result:
  • Millions of teens have benefited from Taco Bell teen programming in Boys & Girls Clubs around the world.
  • Clubs in 236 communities have received nearly $6 million in donations from fundraising in Taco Bell franchise-owned restaurants.
  • More than 52,000 teens have received training and program support through Taco Bell-sponsored Keystone Conferences.
  • More than 5,300 professional staff members have been trained to work more effectively with teens through Taco Bell-funded trainings and on-site consultations.

Taco Bell Foundation for Teens’ vision to inspire teens to graduate from high school by providing them with career, college and community experiences aligns with BGCA’s own mission.

In 2009, Taco Bell Foundation for Teens will help BGCA to strengthen our Keystone program to help it play an even larger role in recruiting and retaining teens – a key to our academic success/high school graduation strategy. In addition, local Taco Bell franchisees will raise funds to support these national efforts by providing college, career and community experiences to Club teens located in the communities served by Taco Bell restaurants.
