This workshop introduces the program PPT 6 fundamentals upon which the Movement is based, and explains PG: Page 7 how these fundamentals are applied to planning the annual and daily program. Program Basics is the “basic training” for implementing programs that not on; but will also have a positive influence on successive generations. This workshop is based on adult learning principles. For you to benefit most from this learning experience, you will be involved as an “active” learner participating in a variety of learning activities. Your participation, sharing and working together will enrich your learning experience today.

PROGRAM BASICS
se Topic One: What is a Boys & Girls Club? Time: 60 minutes Introduction The growth and ongoing success attributed to the Boys & PG: Page 10 Girls Club Movement is related, in great part, to the quality and achievements of staff just like you. In 1860, the first Boys’ Club opened in Hartford, CT, and the Movement Federated as 53 Clubs that united in 1906. Throughout the Movement's long and proud history, Boys & Girls Club professionals, adhering to the Movement's mission and founding principles, have distinguished themselves by providing guidance and youth development services specifically designed to meet the needs of young people in the community. Importance To prepare you to create fun, effective and life enhancing programs throughout your Club, let’s review what makes Boys & Girls Clubs unique. This information will help you understand the mission of Boys & Girls Clubs and the overarching goals we have for our members. Learning Outcomes By the end of this topic, you will be able to: PPT 10 • Describe Boys & Girls Clubs mission and core PG: Page 10 characteristics, and • Recognize BGCA’s formula for impact Order of Lessons The lessons in this topic include: PPT 11 Lessons PG: Page10 • Lesson One: Boys & Girls Club Mission • Lesson Two: Characteristics of a Boys & Girls Club • Lesson Three: BGCA’s Formula for Impact Facilitator’s Guide: Page 12 of 75 © Boys & Girls Clubs of America

PROGRAM BASICS
se What is a Boys & Girls Club? Lesson One: Boys & Girls Club Mission Time: 15 minutes Mission Statement An organization’s mission statement defines the core PPT 12 purpose of an organization. PG: Page 11 Facilitator’s Note Ask: Can anyone tell me what a Mission Statement is? Solicit responses from one or two volunteers. The Mission Statement of an organization identifies: • The audience targeted for services • Purpose, the reason it exists All Clubs should have a written mission statement. BGC Mission Statement Mission Statement: To enable all young people, especially those who need us PPT 13 most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and PG: Page 11 responsible citizens. Facilitator’s Guide: Page 13 of 75 © Boys & Girls Clubs of America
14.
PROGRAM BASICS
se Facilitator’s Note: Ask: According to our mission, what population do we serve? What is the reason we exist? Does anyone’s Club mission statement vary from this? Compare similarities. Ask: What type of organization is the Boys & Girls Club? Solicit responses from one or two volunteers. Ask: Is it a nonprofit, youth serving, guidance, human service, out-of-school youth work, or leisure service organization? Facilitator’s Note: The correct answer could be “all of the above.” The Boys & Girls Club is a nonprofit human service organization, serving youth during out-of-school/leisure time. However, it is most correct to state that the Boys & Girls Club is a youth development organization, a concept consistent with the defining function, focus and expected outcome of its profession’s work. Summary Lastly, it is important to note the mission is the driving force from which programs should evolve. It identifies the broad PPT 14 principles upon which you should proceed in designing and PG: Page 11 implementing programs. The mission provides a broad statement of the organization’s purpose. The Boys & Girls Club is a youth development organization. Our mission is the driving force behind the programs and your role as a youth development professional.

se What is a Boys & Girls Club? Lesson Two: Characteristics of a Boys & Girls Club Time: 20 minutes Characteristics of a Boys All quality Boys & Girls Clubs will have several characteristics & Girls Club in common. These principles influence the way Clubs operate on a daily basis and the program opportunities offered to PPT 16 youth. PG: Page 12 Next, we are going to examine some of the core characteristics of Clubs. We will identify the quality characteristics of a Boys & Girls Club and the specific methods consistent with the mission of the Boys & Girls Club and our beliefs. Boys & Girls Clubs have identified a list of characteristics that set Clubs apart from other youth development and youth serving organizations. It is not just one of these characteristics that set us apart; rather all of them collectively make us unique. Facilitator’s Note: Poll Group: What do you think makes Boys & Girls Clubs unique? What sets us apart from other youth serving organizations? (Usually the group will come up with some of the answers, low fees, building centered, etc.) Facilitator’s Guide: Page 15 of 75 © Boys & Girls Clubs of America

PROGRAM BASICS
se Core Characteristics Boys and Girls Clubs … Are for boys and girls satisfying the age-old desire of young PPT 17 people to have a “Club” of their own. PG: Page 12 Have full-time professional leadership supplemented by part-time workers and volunteers. • Require no proof of good character. They help and guide girls and boys who may be in danger of acquiring, or who have already acquired, unacceptable habits and attitudes, as well as those of good character. • Make sure that all boys and girls can afford to belong and even the least interested will not be deterred from joining. • Are for girls and boys of all races, religions and cultures. Are building-centered with activities conducted in the warm, friendly atmosphere of facilities especially designed for Club programs. PG: Page 13 Have an open-door policy. Clubs are open to all members at any time during hours of operation. Have a varied and diversified program that recognizes and responds to the collective and individual needs of girls and boys. Are guidance-oriented. Clubs emphasize values inherent in the relationships between young people, their peers and adult leaders. They help boys and girls make appropriate and satisfying choices. Facilitator’s Note: Ask participants to share examples of how this is relevant to their Club. Transition: The Mission and the Core Characteristics are important to keep in mind as we plan programs. Just as important is the formula for impact. Facilitator’s Guide: Page 16 of 75 © Boys & Girls Clubs of America

to Impact Clubs can cultivate a developmentally rich environment by incorporating the following Five Key Elements for Positive PPT 21 Youth Development: PG: Page 16 •Safe, positive environment •Fun •Supportive relationships •Opportunities and expectations •Recognition Regular Attendance Clubs should focus on increasing individual member And Increased attendance to a minimum of 52 times per year. Research Participation suggests that youth who attend 52 times per year are more likely to demonstrate positive outcomes in the three key PPT 22 impact areas. Youth who attend 104 times or more per year PG: Page 16 are likely to demonstrate an even larger number of positive outcomes. Targeted Programs Clubs should provide targeted programs to meet the needs of youth. Impact is achieved through a varied schedule of programs aimed at meeting the particular needs of Club members and their communities. Clubs should also ensure that a varied schedule of age-appropriate programs is offered. Positive Youth Combined, these efforts will result in positive youth outcomes Outcomes in three key areas – academic success, good character and citizenship and healthy lifestyles.

Program Basics
Targeted Programs By weaving the key elements into the fabric of your Boys & Girls Clubs, you will be providing youth with a positive PG: Page 17 developmental experience. In addition to using these key elements to create a developmentally rich environment, Clubs should offer targeted programs in three key outcome areas: • Academic Success – Youth demonstrate increased engagement in school and learning, and show improved academic success. BGCA’s vision is that every member progresses to the next grade level on time and graduates with a plan for the future. • Good Character & Citizenship – Youth demonstrate an increase in positive character traits and civic engagement, while also making contributions to their community. BGCA’s vision is to inspire a generation of civically engaged youth who balance self-concern with concern for others. • Healthy Lifestyles – Youth demonstrate improved healthy habits and decision-making skills, and show a strong commitment to leading a healthier lifestyle. BGCA’s vision is to give youth the tools needed to lead healthy, productive lives. Facilitator’s Guide: Page 20 of 75 © Boys & Girls Clubs of America

Program Basics Topic Two:
Five Key Elements Introduction Through extensive research, BGCA has learned that the level of impact a Club has on young people depends on how often PG: Page 18 and how long members participate, as well as how well the Club implements the following Five Key Elements for Positive Youth Development: Learning Outcomes By the end of this topic, you will be able to: PPT 26 • Identify the five key elements of impact PG: Page 18 Order of Lessons The lessons in this topic include: PPT 27 Lessons PG: Page 18 • Lesson One: Understand the Five Key Elements Importance The Boys & Girls Club Movement is uniquely positioned to help America’s youth. By instilling in youth a sense of belonging, usefulness, influence and competence, Boys & Girls Clubs nurture young people’s self-esteem. Clubs also help young people develop the knowledge, attitudes, skills, values and behaviors to succeed in life. This is done through the Five Key Elements of Impact.

Program Basics Five Key
Elements Lesson One: Understand the Five Key Elements Five Key Elements A Safe, Positive Environment: Club staff, facilities, program offerings and age-appropriate settings create stability, PPT 28 consistency and a sense of physical and emotional safety for PG: Page 19 members. The Club provides structure and clearly defines acceptable behaviors. Fun: Clubs generate fun for members. Members develop a strong sense of belonging through connections they establish with staff and peers. Staff members make the Club feel like home, fostering a family atmosphere and creating a sense of ownership for members. Supportive Relationships: Club youth develop meaningful relationships with peers and adults. Staff members actively cultivate such relationships to ensure that every member feels connected to one or more adults and peers. Staff members demonstrate warmth, caring, appreciation, acceptance and proper guidance in their interactions with members. Opportunities and Expectations: Club youth acquire physical, social, technological, artistic and life skills. Clubs encourage members to develop moral character and behave ethically. Staff members establish and reinforce high expectations and help young people do well in school and pursue a post-secondary education. Recognition: Clubs recognize and affirm young people’s self- worth and accomplishments. Staff members encourage youth and provide positive reinforcement as they make improvements and experience successes. The Club showcases young people’s achievements.

Fun The next Key Element is fun. It is very important that PPT 31 members enjoy coming to the Club. Members vote with their PG: Page 22 feet; if the Club is not fun members won’t come. Fun Time: 15 minutes Exercise Let’s examine the important role that staff play in making the Club fun. One of the reasons a member decides to participate in a program is because of the staff person or people facilitating it. Facilitator’s Note: Say: In a small group, discuss the staff at your Clubs that are effective in making the Club fun. Have each small group introduce their staff person and highlight the key points. Key Points • Staff are enthusiastic about their jobs and the programs they run. PPT 33 PG: Page 22 • Staff do not sit behind the desk but actively engage in programs and activities. • Staff always have a funny story or joke to tell to prompt discussions or improve the atmosphere. • Staff understand what is fun or funny to six-year-olds, 10- year-olds, 13-year-olds and 18-year-olds. • Staff make safety fun. • Staff capitalize on a fun atmosphere by encouraging kids to push their limits. Members who are comfortable and having fun are more willing to try something new or difficult. Facilitator’s Guide: Page 25 of 75 © Boys & Girls Clubs of America

Program Basics Supportive Relationships
The next Key Element is supportive relationships. It is PPT 34 essential that every youth is connected to an adult and has PG: Page 24 friendships with peers. Staff should play a hands-on role in helping members to adjust to the Club and make new friends, and to develop meaningful relationships with peers and adults. Staff members actively cultivate such relationships to ensure that every member feels connected to one or more adults and peers. Staff members demonstrate warmth, caring, appreciation, acceptance and proper guidance in their interactions with members. Opportunities and Club youth acquire physical, social, technological, artistic and Expectations life skills. Clubs encourage members to develop moral PPT 35 character and behave ethically. Staff members establish and PG: Page 24 reinforce high expectations and help young people do well in school and pursue a post-secondary education. We will explore more about programs in Topic Five. Recognition Recognition includes validation of achievements and PPT 36 recognition of an individual. There are three types of PG: Page 24 recognition: 1. Acknowledgement – greeting a member by name. 2. Informal praise – impromptu recognition and verbal acknowledge of members doing something good 3. Formal recognition –This includes award celebrations and posted certificates. The strategies and practices that bring the Key Elements to life, work in tandem so that Boys & Girls Clubs can excel in making meaningful differences in the lives of Club members.

Program Basics Topic Three:
Program Delivery Methods Time: 30 minutes Introduction Our goal for this portion of the day is for everyone to learn about the basics of age-appropriate, engaging activities that PG: Page 26 meet members’ needs. Variety helps to ensure that programming remains fresh and exciting for all members. In addition, different program delivery methods help ensure program effectiveness. Not all young people are comfortable in large groups and not all programs can be effectively delivered to very small or large groups. Learning Outcomes By the end of this topic you will be able to: PPT 40 PG: Page 26 • Recognize the three approaches to program Delivery Order of Lessons The lessons in this topic include: PPT 41 PG: Page 26 Lessons • Lesson One: Individual, Small and Large Groups • Lesson Two: How to Lead an Activity Facilitator’s Guide: Page 30 of 75 © Boys & Girls Clubs of America

Program Basics Program Delivery
Methods Lesson One: Individual, Small and Large Groups Time: 10 minutes Individual, Small and There are three approaches to program delivery: Large Groups • Individual PPT 42 • Small group PG: Page 27 • Large group Individual Individual programs are purposeful, one-to-one contacts made PPT 43 with a young person. Examples of individual programs are: PG: Page 27 • Situational or planned guidance sessions addressing personal problems, such as relationships with others, self- concept, school or family. • Medical or dental examinations and follow-up care at the Club or provided through the Club. • Lessons or skill instruction conducted one-on-one. Some members may need additional help before they can compete effectively in larger groups. Small Group Small groups are typically made up of eight to 15 members who meet regularly with an adult leader for a specific program or PPT 44 activity. The interaction between participants is as important as PG: Page 27 the interaction between the leader and participants. There are several types of small group programs: • Classes in which a group leader follows a curriculum or provides skill instruction (e.g., first aid instruction, guitar class, SMART Moves or Passport to Manhood). • Teams in which members learn and practice a skill or sport and participate in competitive events (e.g., baseball, basketball, billiards, soccer, table tennis, volleyball). Facilitator’s Guide: Page 31 of 75 © Boys & Girls Clubs of America
32.
Program Basics
• Group Clubs in which members meet to pursue a common PG: Page 28 interest and through the democratic process, select, plan and implement their own activities with the guidance of an adult advisor (e.g., Keystone Club, Torch Club, photography club, art club). • Cooperative learning projects in which a small group of three to eight members work together to achieve a goal or complete a project (Club garden, community service projects). Large Group Large group or drop-in activities provide informal and individual involvement to help members improve social or PPT 45 physical skills and confidence. These activities provide PG: Page 28 opportunities for maximum freedom and mobility. Examples of large group activities are: • Free play activities in the gym, pool, or games room • Dances and special events • Movies and presentations • Low-organized games, contests or stunts Low-organized games have simple rules, require little or no PPT 46 materials and can be played with any number of participants. PG: Page 28 Because of their simplicity and flexibility, they make excellent on-the-spot or last-minute activities to conduct with Club members in need of some fun. BGCA’s pocket-sized Back Pocket Program Hints is chock-full of excellent ideas for such activities. Transition It’s important to know how to lead an activity with youth in large groups. Let’s take a look at a tool you can use to lead activities effectively. Facilitator’s Guide: Page 32 of 75 © Boys & Girls Clubs of America

Program Basics Program Delivery
Methods Lesson Two: How to Lead an Activity Time: 60 minutes PPT 47 Knowing how to lead an activity is an important skill all staff PG: Page 29 need to know. We are going to go over a technique that will assist you in giving clear instructions for activities with the groups you work with. Facilitator’s Note: Poll group: How many of you lead activities in your Clubs? What type of activities do you lead? Why is knowing how to lead an activity an important skill? DDADA DDADA is the technique to teach someone an activity. It has four steps: PPT 48 PG: Page 29 • Describe It • Demonstrate It • Ask for questions • Do it • Adapt It These steps are developed further as follows: Describe It Describe the Game or Activity PPT 49 When explaining the game or activity, note your position. Be PG: Page 29 a part of the circle if it’s a circle game ensuring that you have eye contract with everyone. Avoid being in the middle where your back is to half of the players. Have participants close enough to see and hear you. Make sure the group is in formation before you begin your explanation. If it’s a circle game, make sure the group is in a circle. This is essential because games are ‘visual’ and having participants in the proper formation will facilitate both Facilitator’s Guide: Page 33 of 75 © Boys & Girls Clubs of America

your explanation and the demonstration. Use words/phrases like “the object of the game is, the challenge is,” or “this is a tag-type game.” Do this at the beginning to help participants understand where you are going with the rest of the description. Demonstrate It Demonstrate the Game or Activity PPT 49 Use players to assist in the demonstration. Keep an eye out PG: Page 30 for good “lightning rods” or models in the group, who will demonstrate with energy, playfulness, humor and safety so the members will get a good picture of the intended action and point. Demonstrate by doing a practice round and/or a slow-motion round when necessary, making sure everyone has the general idea before going full speed. Involve players in deciding about rules and procedural changes in general. This gives them a sense of power and influence, another way to build the self-esteem of youth. Ask Ask for Questions about the Game or Activity A good rule is to not take too many questions. Get on with the game or activity. Too many questions can also be an indication that you need to do another slow motion demonstration and/or discussion. Create feedback loops and use questioning strategies so you know everyone understands what’s expected: e.g., What is your team signal? How do you tag? Use the members’ names periodically to keep them honest and focused. Do it Do it! Enough said, play the game! Adapt it Adapt the Game or Activity If the game isn’t working or if you want to enhance the fun, here are some examples you might adapt: Facilitator’s Guide: Page 34 of 75 © Boys & Girls Clubs of America

• shrink the boundaries or make them bigger • identify more kids to be “it” • add or subtract equipment (more balls or less balloons) • Instruct the chasers/those being chased, to move in a different way; hop vs. jump, or the equipment needs to be moved in a different way. Or, change the name and fantasy of the game to suit your players or a holiday theme, e.g., Giants, Elves, and Wizards, or Snowmen, Santas, and Reindeer instead of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Exercise Leading an Activity Facilitator’s Note Time: 10 minutes Exercise: Leading an Activity PPT 50 PG: 31 Ask a volunteer to teach the group how to play “Tic Tac Toe” as if the group had no idea how the game is played. After the volunteer offers the instruction point out all the techniques that were used. If adaptations have not been offered for Tic Tac Toe ask for them at this point. Ask the group: How did he/she do? In the next exercise, your group will select an activity to conduct and practice leading an activity. 1.

Hand out Back Pocket Program Hints. Briefly explain its purpose. Point out that this book contains high and low organized games for small and large groups. Transition The more you utilize this approach, the better you will be at giving instructions for games and activities. The clearer you PPT 51 are at explaining, the less confused youth will be at trying to PG: Page 31 understand what you are trying to say. So, keep practicing! Now that we have completed explaining individual, small and large groups and how to lead an activity with groups, next we are going to focus on another basic that you need to know in order to work with members of all ages --understanding children and adolescents. Topic Four: Understanding Children and Adolescents Time: 50 minutes PPT 52 The gender, diversity, socioeconomic, inclusion and PG: Page 32 developmental characteristics give Club staff a general idea about what to expect from youth of different ages.

and Adolescents Lesson One: Overview of Gender, Diversity, Socioeconomic and Inclusion Considerations Time: 20 minutes Gender Considerations The Club’s mission is to help boys and girls of all backgrounds develop the qualities needed to realize their full potential as PPT 55 productive, responsible and caring citizens. Society has PG: Page 33 changed dramatically over the last few decades, and so have the roles of women and men. In the world today, men and women must work cooperatively in the work place, the home and in the community. To prepare young people to be successful adults, it is essential to create an environment that promotes equality and mutual respect among girls and boys. Equal access and full service for girls and boys are needed to create this environment. Youth development professionals must treat all girls and boys with equal amounts of attention, equally high expectations, and the same respect and dignity. Cultural, Diversity and Race, culture and socioeconomic status have an undeniable Socioeconomic and profound impact on young people. If care is not taken to Considerations help young people take pride in their own heritage and find the strengths and positive aspects of the environment in which PPT 56 they live, their perceptions of life, other people and themselves PG: Page 33 may be permanently tinged with negativity and intolerance. A critical goal of Boys & Girls Club programming must be to help young people recognize the potential in themselves and others and value the diversity of our nation’s people. For this reason, effective program planning must take into account the diverse backgrounds of Club members. A Note About Inclusion Children with disabilities and other special needs can be found in every community in America. They are children of all ages, PPT 57 colors, socio-economic backgrounds and come from all kinds PG: Page 33 of families. Children with disabilities, like their typically- developing peers, have all kinds of interests. They have abilities, along with their disabilities. Many are already Club members, and many more would benefit from the sense of belonging that is the Boys & Girls Club experience. Facilitator’s Guide: Page 37 of 75 © Boys & Girls Clubs of America

Instruct participants to place themselves against the wall at either end or anywhere in between that corresponds with their belief. Ask participants to explain why they choose their position on the wall. Allow for lots of discussion. Participants will have different views and beliefs. Emphasize the value of freedom but also “encouragement” into other areas. Discuss that younger members, and new members, may need to be brought into new areas to be exposed to a variety of programs. Effective Club operations provide the types of opportunities that help young people cultivate their interests, grow their talents and meet the developmental tasks needed to grow.
