Youth Development Strategy
Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling:
A Sense of Competence
The feeling there is something boys and girls can do and do well.
A Sense of Usefulness
The opportunity to do something of value for other people.
A Sense of Belonging
A setting where young people know they "fit" and are accepted.
A Sense of Power or Influence
A chance to be heard and to influence decisions.
When this strategy is fully implemented, self-esteem is enhanced and an environment is created which helps girls and boys achieve their full potential.
