parents also struggle and have to work several jobs. It
is a relief for them to know their child is in a safe and
nurturing environment. It is great for them to have a
secure place to go after school and receive homework
assistance as well as participate in recreational
activities. This builds confidence and improves
academics. What makes these programs successful is
our staffs ability to modify programs to meet the needs
of these children and still provide the same quality
programs throughout the clubs.
The United Way
Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami have been a United Way
agency since 1947. Twenty percent of the clubs' budget
comes from the United Way. The remaining funds are
raised through special events, corporate donations,
various foundations, grants, and individual donations.
