<strong>Building</strong> <strong>Community</strong><br />

<strong>One</strong><br />

<strong>Child</strong><br />

<strong>at</strong> a<br />

<strong>Time</strong><br />

Year in Review<br />

2004-2005


M i s s i o n<br />

The mission <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>Boys</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Girls</strong> <strong>Clubs</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> Gre<strong>at</strong>er Oxnard <strong>and</strong><br />

Port Hueneme (BGCOP)<br />

is to inspire <strong>and</strong> enable<br />

ALL young people to<br />

realize their full potential<br />

as productive, responsible<br />

<strong>and</strong> caring citizens.<br />

We’re a construction site: building lives, building<br />

community <strong>and</strong> helping youth <strong>and</strong> families lead productive<br />

lives.<br />

We have grown tremendously in the last year, exp<strong>and</strong>ing from<br />

four sites to 14 loc<strong>at</strong>ions <strong>and</strong> securing the needed resources to<br />

renov<strong>at</strong>e the historic Harriet H. Samuelsson Branch on 7th Street.<br />

In addition to our physical growth, we cre<strong>at</strong>ed three innov<strong>at</strong>ive<br />

programs. The first is the Youth Empowerment Program, where<br />

youth ages 14 to 21 learn work readiness skills <strong>and</strong> how to get jobs.<br />

The second project is the 21st Century <strong>Community</strong> Learning After<br />

School Program, which goes by PROSPER (Partnership for Rio Out<strong>of</strong>-School<br />

Student Programs for Educ<strong>at</strong>ional Realiz<strong>at</strong>ion) in the Rio<br />

School District <strong>and</strong> HEROES (Hueneme Educ<strong>at</strong>ion, Recre<strong>at</strong>ion,<br />

Outreach <strong>and</strong> Enrichment Services) in the Hueneme School<br />

District. The third is our Power Plus+ Program, which provides<br />

tutoring <strong>and</strong> supplemental educ<strong>at</strong>ion. These opportunities to<br />

exp<strong>and</strong> our sites <strong>and</strong> programs were made possible by cre<strong>at</strong>ive<br />

partnerships <strong>and</strong> collabor<strong>at</strong>ions with the Rio, Ocean View <strong>and</strong><br />

Hueneme school districts, Oxnard Union High School District <strong>and</strong><br />

the Workforce Investment Board <strong>of</strong> Ventura County, as well as<br />

many other found<strong>at</strong>ions, corpor<strong>at</strong>ions <strong>and</strong> individual donors.<br />

Although our growth in the past year has been exceptional, there is still a gre<strong>at</strong> deal<br />

<strong>of</strong> work to be done. There are still thous<strong>and</strong>s <strong>of</strong> children in our community who have<br />

no place to go after school. They do not have the opportunity to sit <strong>at</strong> a computer in<br />

one <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Clubs</strong> or play in the gymnasiums. There are still those who cannot take<br />

their turn in one <strong>of</strong> the games rooms or be inspired by the fine arts activities. There<br />

are still children who have no one to guide them in good times <strong>and</strong> bad, <strong>and</strong> who<br />

have no encouragement to develop their talents, skills <strong>and</strong> character.<br />

The success <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Clubs</strong> is found not only in our curricula, systems or programs.<br />

It is found in the hearts <strong>of</strong> our youth development staff who know their kids by<br />

name, who teach them life lessons, give them hope <strong>and</strong> encourage them with a<br />

smile every day.<br />

Our youth need sustained rel<strong>at</strong>ionships with<br />

caring adults, mentors <strong>and</strong> schools th<strong>at</strong> treasure<br />

each <strong>and</strong> every child. As we move forward, the<br />

construction will continue. We will continue to<br />

grow <strong>and</strong> transform our community into a place<br />

th<strong>at</strong> truly cares <strong>and</strong> elev<strong>at</strong>es its youth to center stage.<br />

We cannot continue our work alone. Please<br />

join us. If we all do a little, we can accomplish<br />

a lot for our gre<strong>at</strong>est asset: our children.<br />

Respectfully,<br />

Tim Blaylock<br />

Chief Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Officer<br />

Over the course <strong>of</strong> 50<br />

years, the <strong>Boys</strong> & <strong>Girls</strong> <strong>Clubs</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> Gre<strong>at</strong>er Oxnard <strong>and</strong> Port<br />

Hueneme has cre<strong>at</strong>ed a home<br />

for local youth. BGCOP<br />

continually strengthens youth<br />

with after-school programs <strong>and</strong><br />

services to enable them, regardless<br />

<strong>of</strong> their economic situ<strong>at</strong>ion,<br />

to particip<strong>at</strong>e in arts, leadership,<br />

educ<strong>at</strong>ion, life skills <strong>and</strong><br />

recre<strong>at</strong>ion programs.<br />

As the community’s dem<strong>and</strong><br />

for youth services grows, so<br />

does BGCOP. In 2004, the Club<br />

increased from four sites to<br />

14 <strong>and</strong> increased the number<br />

<strong>of</strong> young people served from<br />

4,000 to 6,500.

“My 12-year-old daughter Camisha loves<br />

people <strong>and</strong> trying new things. She enjoys<br />

particip<strong>at</strong>ing in the Torch Club leadership<br />

<strong>and</strong> community service program because<br />

it’s just for her age group <strong>and</strong> is<br />

a special time for her. She <strong>and</strong> my other<br />

children like exploring the Club’s positive<br />

activities <strong>and</strong> programs available for<br />

teens. It has been a very good experience<br />

for all <strong>of</strong> my children, who’ve been<br />

involved with the Club for six years.”<br />

Designed for Safety <strong>and</strong> Security<br />

All children need a safe <strong>and</strong> secure place to go after school. With the<br />

rising number <strong>of</strong> single-parent families <strong>and</strong> families where both<br />

parents work, many children come home to an empty house.<br />

A positive place for all kids is needed. Consider th<strong>at</strong>:<br />

· More than 14 million American children live in poverty.<br />

· More than 4,400 children are arrested each day.<br />

· More than 2,500 high school students drop out.<br />

· Cost <strong>of</strong> after-school care can be as much as $4,000 per year in Southern<br />

California, according to <strong>Child</strong>ren Now.<br />

BGCOP provides a positive, safe place for all youth for only $15 per year. Offering<br />

more than 72 hours per week <strong>of</strong> programmed activities year round, BGCOP<br />

delivers a wide range <strong>of</strong> programs <strong>and</strong> activities th<strong>at</strong> teach kids to make the<br />

right decisions so th<strong>at</strong> they are part <strong>of</strong> the solution, not the problem.

Ground-Breaking New Programs<br />

Power Hour After-School Program<br />

Power Hour provides members ages 6 to 18 with tutoring <strong>and</strong><br />

homework assistance. The program was developed in response<br />

to parents wanting to reinforce better study habits for their children.<br />

The program is funded by a $5,000 don<strong>at</strong>ion received in<br />

2004 from the J.C. Penney Afterschool Fund, which enabled the<br />

Club to purchase books, supplies <strong>and</strong> homework incentives <strong>and</strong><br />

for the Power Hour coordin<strong>at</strong>or to <strong>at</strong>tend training in Atlanta.<br />

Youth Empowerment Program<br />

In 2004, BGCOP became a new provider for the Workforce<br />

Investment Board <strong>of</strong> Ventura County with its Youth Empowerment<br />

Program (YEP), which serves 200 youth ages 14 to 21 in the Oxnard<br />

Plains area. YEP uses award-winning, n<strong>at</strong>ionally recognized<br />

curricula to teach youth str<strong>at</strong>egies <strong>and</strong> techniques for obtaining<br />

<strong>and</strong> maintaining employment in their chosen fields.<br />

Get Into SHAPE!<br />

BGCOP introduced a new program to help fight childhood obesity<br />

<strong>and</strong> the health risks associ<strong>at</strong>ed with it. Starting Healthy Activities<br />

<strong>and</strong> Physical Educ<strong>at</strong>ion (SHAPE) is <strong>of</strong>fered thanks to a $195,000<br />

grant from the California Endowment. Through SHAPE, members<br />

learn new <strong>and</strong> fun fitness activities <strong>and</strong> healthy e<strong>at</strong>ing habits they<br />

can share with their families.<br />

Engineering Entrepreneurs<br />

The N<strong>at</strong>ional Found<strong>at</strong>ion for Teaching Entrepreneurship Program<br />

(NFTE – pronounced “nifty”) is helping youth in low-income communities<br />

learn the business, academic <strong>and</strong> life skills necessary to be<br />

economically productive. The program also connects participants<br />

with employers <strong>and</strong> the community to provide them with relevant,<br />

real world experience.<br />

−Miguel S., 16<br />

A nearly $1.2 million renov<strong>at</strong>ion plan for<br />

the Harriet H. Samuelsson Branch loc<strong>at</strong>ed on<br />

7th Street in downtown Oxnard has begun,<br />

thanks to generous support from businesses <strong>and</strong><br />

individuals.<br />

Scheduled to reopen in March 2006, the 7th Street<br />

facility closed January 2003 due to unsafe conditions<br />

existing within the 50-year-old facility. When<br />

the renov<strong>at</strong>ion is complete, Club members will<br />

enjoy the addition <strong>of</strong> new technology <strong>and</strong> Job <strong>and</strong><br />

Career Centers, as well as a climbing wall loc<strong>at</strong>ed<br />

in the 7,000-square-foot gym.<br />

is made possible by BGCOP fund-raising efforts<br />

<strong>and</strong> a partnership between developers, St<strong>and</strong>ard<br />

Pacific Corp., Centex Homes <strong>and</strong> Shea Homes<br />

(known as RiverPark Legacy Partners, LLC).<br />

Each year, priv<strong>at</strong>e fund raising ensures 6,500 kids have access to quality programs <strong>and</strong><br />

th<strong>at</strong> we never have to turn away a child due to economic hardship. We rely on priv<strong>at</strong>e<br />
