Our Vision and Core Values
Vision Statement
We are a unified association of Clubs acknowledged by government and the public as leaders in the province in providing services to and advocating for children, youth and their families. We have a club in every community that wants one. We support all our local clubs throughout the province with relevant information and resources and assist each other in the delivery of high quality programs and services. We are an organization that lives our values and is true to our mission.
Core Values
In our work with children, youth, families and communities, all Boys and Girls Clubs are guided by the following Core Values. They define us as a movement and are the standard against which all Boys and Girls Club services are measured.
Inclusion and Opportunity
We strive to offer children and youth from all economic, cultural, and social backgrounds access to the resources, supports, and opportunities that will enable them to overcome barriers and achieve their positive potential in life.
Respect and Belonging
We provide a safe, supportive place, where every child is listened to, treated with respect, and valued in an environment of inclusion and acceptance. Our staff and volunteers model honesty, fair play, positive attitude, cooperation, and respect for self and others.
Empowerment
We believe all young people can grow into responsible, contributing, and self-reliant members of society. Children and youth are at the centre of everything we do. Through adventure, play, and discovery, we encourage and empower them to develop healthy lifestyles, a life-long passion for learning, leadership and life skills, and a sense of social responsibility.
Collaboration
We work together with families and volunteers in each community, in partnership with government and other organizations, to create healthy community solutions to providing children and youth with what they need for optimal development.
Speaking Out
We speak out on behalf of children, youth, and their families to reduce disadvantage, enhance their lives, and enable their voices and ideas to be heard.
