Guiding Principle 1: Keep me engaged
- This includes giving the students opportunities to participate in various activities and field trips where they take part in something outside of their comfort zone.
- Keeping up to date technology and computer programs can also keep kids interested in the club.
“Some people say it’s boring.”
-Ciarra
“There are not enough activities.”
-Kaliyah
Guiding Principle 2: Provide me with consistency
- The relationships the teens make with the volunteers and each other is the driving force behind keeping them involved in the club. It is critical to get more volunteers that will stay around so that the teens can become comfortable around them.
- Tutors should also be consistent as well.
“I like the environment. There are good people and we learn good habits.”
-Kaliyah
Guiding Principle 3: Help me inform others
- Not many teens know about BGC. This is due to a lack of advertising by the club, and the members do not talk to their friends about it. The teens need guidance on how to spread word about their experience to get more people involved.
- The club can guide the teens on ways to spread news about BGC via social media.
“The BGC is not advertised at all throughout the school.”
-Adams Principal
