Organization: The Boys and Girls Club

 

    While social mobility remains an issue in our society, there are still those organizations out there that are committing resources, time, and funding to help those who are the most vulnerable to issues surrounding the inability to move upward in society. With the help of organizations, such as The Boys and Girls Club, 76% of low-income children that are between the ages of 12 to 18 report As and Bs in their classes, compared to the 67% of their peers nationally (Boys and Girls Club, n.d.). Yet, we still have children that lack the resources they need to succeed in school. For example, 4.4 million households in America report that they don’t have consistent access to computers for online learning. This is essential for both our digital era and during the pandemic ( USA Facts, 2020). Boys and Girls Club, I am asking you to continue your efforts in closing the achievement gap and help me in my effort to see to it that every child has the education they deserve.

    In my local community, there are many children who are involved in the Boys and Girls Club. But sometimes, it can be challenging for the younger children to access these facilities because their parents don’t have cars or transportation. Boys and Girls Club of America, I know that you value diversity, innovation, and helping those excel beyond grade school. With your help, we can reach into every community across America and ensure that they have the resources they need to get to your organization, get involved, and develop the skills they need to succeed. Together, we can work towards equality in communities across America.

     Our society needs these children’s skills, talent, and knowledge but they need our help. I know that the Boys and Girls Club is committed to this cause every day and that innovation is a priority. With your help, together we can reach your goals and live by your mission to assist those children in need and close the achievement gap. Unfortunately, there are many children who still do not seek your resources and I’m asking for help in finding ways that we can reach them all. This will create a society that fights for equality and is driven towards success.

     Boys and Girls Club, I am thankful for you and your efforts thus far. I know children who utilized your organization that go on the achieve greatness. What we need to do is find a way to dig deeper into these vulnerable communities and ensure no child is left behind. We need to provide transpiration, resources, and we need creative ways to gather funding from local communities. With COVID-19, we need this more than ever. Innovation and creativity are the keys to our success and I understand that this fight to close the achievement gap and promote upward mobility could not be done without an organization as wonderful as this one.
