Formula for Impact

In 2011, BGCMC joined Clubs across the U.S. in the adoption of a new Formula For Impact. The Formula for Impact is a five-year roadmap designed to provide age-appropriate programs so all Members can demonstrate Academic Success,Good Character & Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles.

Academic Success

A key component to the Formula for Impact is to prepare every Member to graduate from high school so that he or she is ready for college, trade school, the military, or employment. According to a survey of Members, 88% say their grades improved this year; 76% always complete their homework; 81% enjoy learning; and 91% say they plan to go to college. In addition, 98% of parents reported that their child is now more prepared for school and 98% also said their child's academic performance improved because of BGCMC. 

Good Character & Citizenship

We believe children who give back to the community will grow up to be engaged and responsible citizens. Our most recent data shows the percentage of Members who participated in community service activities has more than doubled (56%). At the same time, our success can be measured in our efforts to help youth avoid involvement with the juvenile justice system, particularly in light of a recent report that found 290 Martin County juveniles ages 10 to 17 were arrested in 2010. With that in mind, 84% of Members told us they could talk to a staff member or volunteer if they were having problems.

Healthy Lifestyles

It is vital that children and teens become--and stay--healthy if they are to succeed in life. And nine in ten (89%) Members say they have learned to eat healthy at the Club. Through our resistance skills training programs, Members have learned to say no: 98% to cigarettes, 89% to alcohol, and 99% to drugs. And 92% say they have learned to safely use the Internet at the Clubs.

Ground has been broken and infrastructure construction has begun on our new Indiantown Clubhouse, which is expected to open first quarter 2014!  

Designed by Stuart-based architectural firm OCampo & Associates, the new Clubhouse features a full-size gymnasium, performing arts space, learning & technology labs, a kitchen, and plenty of space to build and develop the potential of Indiantown’s most extraordinary asset —its children-- through Education & Career Development, Character Leadership Development, Health & Life Skills, The Arts and Sports, Fitness & Recreation.

The new 22,000 square foot club house will enable us to greatly expand our capacity and we expect membership in Indiantown to double in its first year of operation!
