True Measure of Success - Watch the video above and listen for the voices of some of the many amazing alumni that were products of Boys & Girls Clubs across our nation.
Bill Cosby... Michael Jordan... Brad Pitt... President Clinton... Jackie Joyner-Kersee... Martin Sheen... Queen Latifah... Neil Diamond... Denzel Washington. What do all of these people, and millions more throughout America, have in common?
They are all alumni of Boys & Girls Clubs.
While many Club alumni have achieved particular distinction in fields such as entertainment, business, politics and sports, the average alumnus is not famous. Most have achieved success by getting an education, raising a family, serving their country, pursuing a career or supporting the community.
Boys & Girls Clubs of America states that "Millions have benefited from belonging to a Boys & Girls Club since the first Club opened its doors in 1860. Based on research by Louis Harris & Associates, Club alumni have very strong feelings about their individual Club experiences:
80% said Club staff helped them learn right from wrong
95% indicated the Club was the best thing available in their community
52% said participating in the Club 'saved my life'"
