Description

Club Tech is an ambitious, multi-year initiative that provides Boys & Girls Clubs with state-of-the-art software! Today’s youth have a familiarity with technology unlike generations that have preceded them, a skill that is vital to success in school and on the job. Yet with more than 8 million young people lacking regular access to a computer, many will be left facing life-long challenges. Club Tech, our digital literacy program, aims to make technology accessible, intriguing, and fun. Through the Club Tech suite of programs, kids learn how to use basic business software, be safe online, and learn advanced hardware and networking skills. From basic technical skills curriculum to Game Tech (an introduction to video game development and principles of game design, animation mechanics, and software) kids are well prepared to achieve success in school and in their careers. With the support of sponsors Microsoft and Comcast, Boys & Girls Clubs around the world are delivering Club Tech programs to some 1 million kids and teens every year to build digital skills, access technology resources, expand creativity, perform better in school, and eventually take their technology know-how into the workplace.

Description

The SMART Moves (Skills Mastery and Resistance Training) prevention/education program addresses problems such as drug and alcohol use and premature sexual activity. The program uses a team approach involving Club staff, peer leaders, parents and community representatives. More than simply emphasizing a “Say No” message, the program teaches young people ages 6 to 15 how to say no by involving them in discussion and role-playing, practicing resistance and refusal skills, developing assertiveness, strengthening decision-making skills and analyzing media and peer influence. The ultimate goal: to promote abstinence from substance abuse and adolescent sexual involvement through the practice of responsible behavior.
