It takes a community –Roxbury Boys & Girls ClubAdvisory Board members,staff, and hundreds ofmembers ages six to 18make the Club a placewhere relationships changeyoung lives.the power ofrelationships

D e a r F r i e n d s ,Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston (BGCB) buildslasting bonds that, time and again, change lives.Young people may join the Club for the chanceto draw and paint in art class, to compete on aswim team, to compose music on a computer,to expand their horizons on Club field trips,or simply to have a safe place to go after school.They end up with something they might nothave been seeking, but which is fundamental totheir development: lasting relationships.Club staff provide a reassuring hand on theshoulder or a congratulatory pat on the backthat, for a young person, can make the entireworld seem okay.We share in the pride of a member’s good reportcard after several tough years in school. We arelike proud parents when they apply and areaccepted to college, usually as the first in theirfamilies to do so.No one knows this better than Greg Stoddard, alicensed, clinical social worker based at theRoxbury Club, who has countless stories aboutthe value of these relationships. In this report,we will share the story of a seven-year-old boyabout whom Greg says, “In five years, he wouldhave been dead or in prison, but now he’s on theright track,” thanks to caring staff who guidedhim in a new direction.In the following pages, you will meet some ofthe young people – such as Katiana Ramosand Franklin Moore – who have soughtencouragement, learning or support and havefound it at a Club. You’ll also meet some of thecaring adults who provide it, such as Greg,Alice Vogler, Daphne Griffin, and our manyvolunteers.Our Clubs nurture other powerful relationships:among young members, between generationsof a family, with local community members, andwith institutions, such as the Museum of FineArts and MIT, which open a new world to ayoung audience, eager to learn.This past summer, when some Bostonneighborhoods were gripped by gun violence,many came to the Clubs for safety. Our teencenters remained open later on weeknights,providing a safe and fun place for young peopleto gather. In response to Mayor Menino’s call,our summer program bridged the usualtwo-week break to provide productivealternatives every day for young people untilthe school year started. We reached out to newteen populations through the start of the schoolyear in hopes of drawing more young people offthe streets and into a supportive environment.To our relief, many came – the start of morenew relationships and greater impact in our city.Of course, one of the most importantrelationships we have is the one we have withyou. We value your commitment to ourmission, your generous support of ourprograms, and your belief in a better futurefor the youth of Boston and Chelsea. Together,we will not only make a difference this year,keeping the Clubs affordable and accessible toall, but we will ensure that the Clubs are here toserve future generations. You make all of thispossible, and for that, we thank you.With gratitude,Linda WhitlockPresident & CEOJeffrey F. JonesChair, Board of Directors1

Paul Rooney,President, EBS InsuranceBrokers, Inc.Alumnus and AdvisoryBoard Member, South BostonBoys & Girls ClubMember, Board of Overseers,BGCBa place for relationships2

Changing our world, One kid at a time.As a boy growing up in South Boston,Paul Rooney spent most of his freetime at the Boys & Girls Club, followingthe lead of his older brothers. Today,Paul is a successful business owner, aHarvard graduate, and a longtimemember of BGCB’s Board of Overseers.In those days, he was a passionateyoung athlete. He played sports inschool, he played sports after school –he played whenever he had anopportunity. “We looked at the club as‘swim and gym’,” Paul says. “We wentthere to play ball.”While he was drawn to the Club byathletics, even at that age, Paul wasaware that he was choosing a morepositive path than some of the otheryoungsters in his South Bostonneighborhood. “I would ask myself,‘Would I rather be playing basketballon a Monday night or would I ratherbe hanging out on a street corner?’”This is a choice that, for many Clubmembers, has a dramatic impact ontheir life’s direction.The choice to spend time engaged inhealthy activities has become evenmore important as, over the years,neighborhood pressures have increasedon teens and children. South Boston isa community facing high poverty levels,inadequate education, unemployment,crime, substance abuse and addiction.More than 40 percent of South Bostonresidents report household incomesbelow $35,000. And according tothe Massachusetts Department ofEducation, nearly 40 percent of SouthBoston’s 10 th grade students failed theirMCAS tests in Math and English.“I always looked upon the South BostonClub – and my parents looked upon theClub – as a way to supplement thefamily structure,” says Paul. “Over thepast 10 or 15 years, for many youngpeople, the Club has replaced the familystructure.” Nowadays, young membersoften are looking for a safe haven, seekingadult guidance and longing for a reassuringpat on the back. They can find these thingsat the Club.They are also looking for direction morethan ever before, and the Club has steppedin with options and programs that allowteens and children to build new skills andhelp develop interests in positive andproductive activities.“If today’s young people have access totechnology and other types of educationaland recreational programs, they will seethemselves on an equal playing field withkids from more affluent communities,”Paul says. “They have choices and that canmake all the difference.” As it did for him.Russ Epker was steadfast in his belief in the value of Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston, and his son, Mark,embraces his father’s dedication to the agency. “He always believed that everyone deserves a chance, especiallythe young people at the Clubs.” Russ served as Chair of BGCB’s Board of Directors, and Mark now serves onthe Board of Overseers. • Mark started working with the Clubs by taking his father’s advice to volunteer,tutoring a sixth-grader named Edgar at the Charlestown Boys & Girls Club. The relationship lasted until Edgarreached 11 th grade and, at that point, their lives went separate ways. When Russ Epker passed away last year, theCharlestown Club named the Epker Discovery Room at the Keane Children’s Center in his memory. A specialtouch made the dedication ceremony particularly memorable for Mark: his young friend Edgar was in thecrowd. “He has turned out to be as great an adult as he had been as a young kid,” Mark says.33

When she first joined the Boys & GirlsClub in Chelsea, Katiana’s world largelyrevolved around the people she knew inher neighborhood – people who were, forthe most part, just like her. As with most ofus, Katiana felt most comfortable doingwhat she knew how to do and spendingtime with people who did the same.Taking the advice of the Club staff, Katianadecided to move beyond her comfortzone. She applied for – and was acceptedinto – Austin Preparatory High School inReading. A wealthier community thanChelsea and distinctly suburban, this wasan entirely new environment for Katiana.Austin Prep was a large first step away fromwhat felt comfortable to Katiana, but it wasalso an important step that has sent her lifein a positive direction.“I learned how to deal with those kids andthat world,” she says. “Before, I didn’t knowhow to deal with different kinds of people.You need to know how to interact in orderto survive.” Throughout high school,Katiana remained deeply connected to theClub, where she worked part-time as a gymassistant and a lifeguard. “It’s like a secondhome,” she says. “They make you feel sowelcome, it’s hard to leave.”When it came time to consider college,however, Katiana was ready to go. She hadthe educational cachet of Austin Prep andthe necessary support from the staff atthe Club. Katiana chose Pine ManorCollege, a private liberal arts college forwomen, where she is studying BusinessAdministration with a concentration inAccounting.“The staff at the Club helped me apply todifferent schools from UCLA to UMassAmherst,” she says. “They helped me fill outreports for the SATs, and took me oncampus visits. Without the Club, I probablywouldn’t have ended up in college.”Volunteer jobs she did with the KeystoneClub, a leadership and service group forteenage Club members, qualified Katiana foran AmeriCorps grant that she is puttingtowards her college tuition. Her goal is tofinish college by 2006, and to pass the CPAexam soon after. Once she has gained severalyears of experience in an accounting firm,Katiana plans to open a salon and boutique.The Club has given Katiana the confidence tobelieve in herself, to take chances and to trynew things.“The Club taught me about camping,something I never thought I would do. NowI go camping on my own. I go snowboarding,”she says. Katiana keeps her connection toher old neighborhood and friends, butknows that her world extends far beyond.Katiana Ramos,Making education a top priority as a studentat Pine Manor CollegeAlumna, Jordan Boys & Girls Club, ChelseaFranklin Moore is quick to help others, extending himself wherever he can. “I can’t really say no to anyone,”Franklin says. • At age 14, he is a role model for those around him, especially younger members of the Blue HillClub who seek him out for help in finishing their homework and navigating new computer programs. • “I try togive them confidence,” says Franklin, who works in the Computer Clubhouse. “I help them figure out what theyknow and how they can use this to solve problems.” • Similarly, Franklin credits staff at Boys & Girls Clubs ofBoston for helping him to define himself. • “They taught me how to be an individual, how to have my ownvoice and how to speak up,” he says, highlighting his involvement in the Keystone Club, a leadership and serviceclub for members ages 14 to 18. “The Keystone Club is a way of reaching out to the community. At least I know I’mdoing my part.”achiev4

Changing our world, One kid at a time.One of the first things you notice aboutAlice Vogler is how much she loves herjob as the Art Director at the Jordan Clubin Chelsea. Alice bubbles with enthusiasmwhen she talks about the creative programsand art projects she works on with youngmembers. • She brings that excitementto work with her every day, touchingchildren’s lives with her energy. Littlewonder that in 2003 she won the Myra HiattKraft Staff Professional DevelopmentAward, presented to a staff member whomost demonstrates an ability to mentor andeducate members. • “I feel very lucky tohave a job where I can make such adifference,” Alice says. • Alice’s approachis to offer several project choices each dayin her art room, to encourage creativity,and to connect the project themes,whenever possible, to community andhistory. Alice also has created several newprograms for young people whomay enjoy creative endeavors, but notspecifically art. For example, she teachescooking classes, and organizes a GardeningClub and a Newspaper Club.ement through relationships55

Changing our world, One kid at a time.One objective of Boys & Girls Clubs ofBoston is to open doors of opportunityfor young people, helping them to fosternew interests and to build new skills, aswell as extending their life experiences.To that end, the agency has developedpartnerships with the Museum of FineArts (MFA), the MIT Media Lab and theComputer Museum, paving the way formembers to experience art andtechnology.The relationship with the MFA opens thevenerable arts institution to communitiesand generations of Bostonians who maynot see the museum as their own. For itspart, the museum expands its impact byreaching out to eager young people whoare discovering the artist – and the artlover – inside themselves.“It has opened the doors of the MFA in avery different way for our membersbecause it’s not an ‘If you build it, they willcome’” situation,” says Daphne Griffin,former Director of Program Services atBGCB, and now Executive Director of theBlue Hill Club, who also launched the firstComputer Clubhouse. “They may notnecessarily see these older institutions asplaces they can go. This program helps themsee the museum as a viable option – and fortheir parents, too.”The MFA after-school arts program is gearedtowards members, ages 11 through 13, fromall five Clubs, and takes a different approacheach year. The MFA project for 2003-2004culminated in the creation of five shortanimated films, one from each Club. Theyoung artists learned a new skill, expressedtheir creativity, and participated in a specialscreening at which their animated filmswere unveiled.The children beamed with pride as theaudience viewed their artistic work. Youngpeople, who told staff members that theirartwork would have been discarded athome, felt the power of appreciation. Theanimation project built their self-esteem.Similarly, the relationship with the MITMedia Lab and the Computer Museumhas helped young members hone theirtechnical skills in the state-of-the-artcomputer labs located at each of the fiveClubs. The libraries, recreation areas andeducation centers at the Clubs also arewired so that members can use technologyas a way to solve real-world problems andbuild real-world skills.Daphne marvels at one young man fromBosnia who learned so much aboutcomputers through the ComputerClubhouse that he helped her map out atechnology infrastructure.“The crux of the model and thephilosophy is to learn by doing,” Daphnesays. “Young people who may not do wellin school can come into the Clubs andlearn how to write code. Many childrenwho are not successful at school comeinto the Computer Clubhouse, and theyare a success.”relationships77

The YSPN partnershipwith the Boston PoliceDepartment servesnearly 1,200 youth incrisis each year.innovation through relations8

Changing our world, One kid at a time.Reaching young people today oftenrequires taking a more innovativeapproach to the complex issues theyface – at home, at school, in theirneighborhoods. BGCB provides socialworkers and one-on-one attention tochildren and teens who need it at all fiveClubs. Offering a safe place for youngpeople to go, where there is a caring adultto talk to, is not always enough; sometimesthe situation requires going to them.Youth Service Providers Network (YSPN)is an innovative BGCB program that worksin partnership with the Boston PoliceDepartment to place licensed clinicalsocial workers at police stations. Theyprovide prevention and interventionservices and referrals to as many as 1,200of the city’s most at-risk youth each year.YSPN social workers develop relationshipswith youth who are at risk for arrest, as wellas those who already are part of the JuvenileJustice System. The aim is to help youngpeople develop more trusting relationshipsand offer them choices. Take, for example,the 19-year-old who would pick fights withhis mother until she would call the police.It turns out, his father had been murderedand the teen was desperate for maleattention, for someone who couldunderstand him. YSPN provided him with amale social worker and the teen’s motherbegan attending support group sessions.The tension eased between mother andson, and as a result, the teen was set on theright path.Even Club members who seem to be onthe right path can experience a crisis andneed more than a place to go. That wascertainly the case for a 14-year-old girl whooverdosed after her mother threatened tokick her out of the house. Depressed, thegirl took pills and then went, scared, to theClub – a place where she felt safe. Staffmembers rushed her to the hospital and theClub’s social worker has been at the centerof the support system that is helping her getback on track.Greg Stoddard, a social worker at theRoxbury Boys & Girls Club, used patienceand creativity – two things often in shortsupply in many homes – to reach oneseven-year-old whose behavior problemswere making it impossible for him to interactat the Club, at school and at home. “I met with himand we agreed that he had something called the‘Angries’ on his back,” says Greg. “After a while, hebegan to realize that the Angries were making himdo things he didn’t want to do. They were creatingproblems for him.”Greg talked to the boy in a way he couldunderstand. By giving a name to the boy’sfrustrations, Greg made them real. Making themreal gave the boy something tangible to tackle.The process took two-and-a-half years, buteventually the boy made a breakthrough.“He decided the Angries were trying to trick himand get him kicked out of the Club,” says Greg.“He understood this and he has not had aproblem with the Angries ever since. More thanthat, he’s now the one discouraging others fromgetting themselves into trouble. He’s on theright track.”ipsThrough Community Learning Centers (CLC), a partnership with theBoston Public Schools, BGCB provides a safe, nurturing and challengingenvironment beyond its five Clubs, where children can develop the skillsnecessary to become competent and capable leaders. By combining diverseafter-school activities, including the arts and physical activities, with anemphasis on academics, the CLCs coordinate “out-of-school time within-school time” for more than 300 students annually.99

He believes that reaching outto generations of young people in localneighborhoods is an integral part of a lastingcommunity foundation.“Those of us who depend on Boston for ourlivelihood want to be in a thriving city, and thatimposes a responsibility to think about how wecan contribute to strengthening the community.For me, strengthening the community meanssupporting young people who represent thefuture of our city,” says Jeff, Chair of BGCB’sBoard of Directors and the Managing Partner atPalmer & Dodge. “I became committed toBoys & Girls Clubs of Boston when I saw theinteraction between Club members and thestaff, and I saw how the Clubhouse experiencechanges young people’s lives.”While the organization’s core mission hasn’tchanged much in 111 years, Jeff has seen theorganization’s programs and services expand inresponse to community needs. “This is one ofthe reasons that I’ve been persuaded for yearsabout BGCB and about the potential of theyoung people who benefit every day from itsextraordinary programs and staff,” he says.Jeff has been supporting the agency for morethan 20 years, but his role as Chair of the Boardis the one that provides him the greatestopportunity to see the organization and its workup close, and to meet young people from variouscommunities in Boston.“It gives me a better understanding of the mix ofpeople in Boston,” Jeff says. “My work withBGCB gives me a good perspective on howBoston is evolving.”12

Investing in YouthThe fast-paced world of Deutsche Bank mayfocus on money matters, but the bank hasinvested valuable time in young people throughits work with Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston.“I’ve had the opportunity to meet some of thekids from the South Boston Boys & Girls Cluband I’ve heard their stories. Each time that I’vebeen with them, it’s amazing,” says Dan Ryan, aVice President at Deutsche Bank Alex. Brown.Deutsche Bank’s commitment to communities isgrounded in a longstanding tradition of socialresponsibility. While proceeds from theDeutsche Bank Championship – a PGA TOURevent held in Massachusetts – benefit the TigerWoods Foundation, the Bank has assisted inidentifying and directing grants to organizationssuch as Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston, which ismaking a difference in the lives of thousands ofyoung people across the city.“It brings home what we’re trying to do,” Dansays. “Anyone who has the opportunity to meetthese young people would just pour out theirhearts and pull out their wallets.”Meredith and ChristopherShachoyThomas G.

She ended upgetting as hooked on the place as herchildren did.“I love walking into the Club; I love the wayit feels,” says Kathleen, referring to theCharlestown Boys & Girls Club, where, asthe Local Advisory Board Chair, she leadsfundraising efforts for the Club, advises theClub leadership on community issues, andensures proper governance of the boardand its committees. “I love the youngpeople, and I love that we keep our childrensafe at a critical time in their lives.”Kathleen is inspired by watching youngpeople soar to new levels when they takeadvantage of the programs and projectsthat are available to them through the Club.“I’ve seen children who have had someopportunities only because they were atthe Club,” she says. “They met people whocared and who wanted to help.”The preceding list includes all gifts and pledges of $250 or more made duringour 2004 fiscal year (July 1, 2003 – June 30, 2004).
