Boys and Girls Clubs of America
In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them. Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence. Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow -- all while having fun. It is truly The Positive Place For Kids. WOW/ALA is very active with Boys and Girls Clubs across the nation at the local level, supporting programs and partnering with local clubs on Join Hands Day projects and more!
Girl Scouts of America
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's pre-eminent organization dedicated solely to girls - all girls - where, in an accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success in the real world. In partnership with committed adult volunteers, Girl Scouts cultivate their full individual potential. The qualities they develop in Girl Scouting - leadership, values, social conscience, and conviction about their own self-worth - serve them all their lives. WOW/ALA is active with different local Girl Scout groups across the nation, working together on volunteer projects in the community such as Join Hands Day and the Take Pride in America initiative.
