Building Great Futures in Martin County

Our bold new initiative ignites a new dawn of possibility for all children in Martin County, especially those who need us the most.  The effort will create new and better pathways for the next generation of problem solvers, innovators and leaders in the pursuit of greater economic mobility and achievement of the American Dream. 

Building on three decades of experience at our existing Club locations, the Building Great Futures campaign will be the largest int he organization's history focusing on county-wide mission-drive growth, impact and sustainability. 

The Challenges

Many youth today face significant barriers that interfere with their ability to learn, develop and build the confidence they need during their formative years.  Poverty, poor nutrition and trauma add additional burdens in their pursuit of educational success, building healthy relationships and developing positive life skills.
