<strong>ONE</strong> <strong>CLUBHOUSE</strong> <strong>AT</strong> A <strong>TIME</strong><br />

Since 2003, Educational Alliance has been a chartered member of the Boys<br />

& Girls Clubs of America. Today, we serve more than 2,000 youth ages five<br />

to 18 in nine Boys & Girls Clubhouses across the Lower East Side and East<br />

Village.<br />

Our programs foster academic, social, and emotional competencies and<br />

physical well-being in safe and nurturing environments; provide<br />

opportunities for youth to explore their interests and creativity; build<br />

skills that support academic achievement; raise participant expectations<br />

and confidence; cultivate youth leadership and community engagement;<br />

and engage parents/caregivers to support their children’s development.<br />

We help empower youth by strengthening their minds and developing learning<br />

strategies that will build a foundation for success in school<br />

and in life.<br />
