Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), was named number one among all youth organizations for seven consecutive years by the Chronicle of Philanthropy, and ranked among the top charitable organizations in America based on cost-effective use of donor dollars by Forbes, Fortune, Money, Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report. BGCA began partnering with Native American tribes, as well as government, corporate and non-profit partners, because the statistics about the number of Native American youths who never finish high school, abuse alcohol and drugs, and are left unsupervised while parents work are staggering. These children and teenagers need to know that someone cares, need to feel competent to make smart choices, and need to have safe places to learn and grow. That is why Boys & Girls Clubs in Indian Country are so critical. They are truly The Positive Place For Kids.
