OVERVIEW
All kids deserve the opportunity to succeed in life, regardless of their ethnicity, family income level, size of their family, or the community that they live in. They all deserve to have caring adults in their lives who
encourage them to believe in themselves and to work hard to be successful. Children need adults to encourage them to make straight A's at school,as well as succeed in their homes and communities.
Our goal at The Vacaville Neighborhood Boys & Girls Club is to inspire our youth to believe in themselves and to enhance their lives through the programs brought to them by our compassionate staff.
The Vacaville Neighborhood Boys & Girls Club provides Vacaville's youth life-changing programs that develop a desire for learning and positive youth development. By engaging our youth in positive role-play through our SMART MOVES program, we provide them with decision- making skills that will one day save lives. By exposing technology, we give them the skills needed to ensure they are not left behind. By helping our youth develop character today, we guarantee that they will have a positive impact and play a major role in our communities tomorrow.
When today's youth make wrong decisions they may end up living a lifetime wrought with poverty, drug abuse, teen parenting, gang involvement or low self-esteem. The Vacaville Neighborhood Boys & Girls Club is one
of the most influential youth development organizations in our community. Your investment and support in our club inspires all of us to believe in our youth, and more importantly, it allows us the opportunity to continue to inspire youth to believe in themselves.
Currently we have three sites in Vacaville. The Dixon site opens December, 2006. Since our opening in October 2003, we have grown from 90 to over 850 members. Community investments and strong
leadership have been the driving catalysts of the Club. We know that with continued community involvement and support as well as strong leadership we will be
able to give Dixon's and Vacaville's most disadvantaged youth the opportunity to be successful in life, regardless of their life situation.
