Power Hour:
Power Hour: Making Minutes Count helps Club members ages 6-12 be more successful in school by providing homework help, tutoring and encouraging members to become self-directed learners. The program kit includes a manual, a guidebook for homework helpers and tutors and charts for tracking and rewarding participants' progress. JCPenney Afterschool Fund sponsors Power Hour: Making Minutes Count.
Junior Staff Career Development:
Junior Staff Career Development is a comprehensive, small-group program that assists Club members ages 11-18 in exploring a career in youth or human services, particularly Boys & Girls Club work. Through hands-on experiences with helping others in the Club and community, field trips to other service organizations and one-on-one guidance from Club staff, youth prepare for a future role as a human services professional or volunteer leader in their community. Junior Staff Career Development was updated with funding from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance, and is supported by Morgan Stanley.
Club Tech:
Club

Girls Clubs with State-of-the-art software; an extensive array of
programs and resources to help Club professionals build members'
computer skills and integrate technology in all Core Program Areas; and
