Abstract:
Boys & Girls Clubs of America retained the renowned Harris polling organization to conduct a survey of three generations of club alumni from around the country. They are living proof of the success of this program. The results are both dramatic and decisive. Former Boys & Girls Club kids tell about lives changed and uplifted by the club experience. Most remarkably, 57 percent of alumni say the club "saved my life." Learn more interesting results ranging from school dropout rates, crime and obesity to graduation, civic engagement, athletics and character development.
