OUR STRATEGIC PLAN Adopted in 2018, “Opportunity 2021” provides a framework of focus for aligning priorities with specific objectives. The development of this strategic plan included many stakeholder groups and input from the Board and staff. Once the primary goals and objectives were drafted, staff worked to develop indicators which could be tracked directly related to “Opportunity 2021”. With the first year of work completed, progress or challenges can easily be identified. Priority 1: Reach More Youth With the opening of the Concrete Boys & Girls Club sites at the end of 2018, which was not originally anticipated, the total goal for 2020 was reached at 18,000 sq ft of dedicated space for Club Use. This metric and goal will likely be updated at the December Board Retreat, to ensure stretch goals remain so more youth are reached. The initiative that resulted in the Concrete Club starting also realized early goals set for the end of <strong>2019</strong> in the numbers of new youth served. More recently, a new Club program in Burlington will further advance this number, so a similar review will occur. Priority 2: Increase Program Quality Big wins in this priority area include reaching all 2018 metrics set forth and in many cases beating them. The organization is on pace to provide at least 3 Assessments per Site this year, which positively impacts our commitment to a Continuous Program Quality Improvement Cycle. This year, there is a big increase needed to reach goals set forth for staff training in Basics and Methods, but leadership is confident these goals will be met. Priority 3: Strengthen the Organization The Boys & Girls Clubs of Skagit County takes pride in continuing to prioritize professional development for staff and volunteers. This is important to ensure adaptability to the changing needs of kids and teens served, but also to ensure the organization is being as efficient as possible and providing appropriate stewardship of community resources. The desire to increase external training opportunities to middle managers and front-line staff is both to improve program quality, but also strengthen the organization. When people feel invested in, they are more likely to stay longer—of significant importance from the hard cost point of view of turnover, but also the cost of a relationship of a supportive adult in the life of a Club member. Focusing on increasing the number of people who come through our doors and participate in Club Tours provides our youth with opportunities to engage with the public, gain confidence, and develop speaking skills, but also to inform stakeholders as to the incredibly complex strategies being implemented each day to further the positive outcomes of Club members. Through increased participation and advocacy, more people are likely to become aware of how resources can change lives, and share their stories which will ultimately benefit those served. While the 2018 goal was reached, this is an area that needs significant work to reach ambitious goals set for <strong>2019</strong> and beyond. 12
