They know that Clubstaff believes in them and their community cares about them. Thank you, our dedicated champions, whohave made great futures possible for thousands of kids for more than 20 years. We invite you to dreambig with us as we continue to realize our own great future. With your support, we will continue to grow ourimpact in response to tremendous and growing community need. Let’s continue this good work, and thisincredible growth together, on behalf of our kids and our community.With gratitude, It has been a milestone year of growth and impact. Building on a foundation of financial stability andcommunity connection allowed Boys & Girls Club of Rochester to imagine big futures alongside our kidsin 2023-2024. Our growth can be seen in our success with one of our perennial goals: Serve More Kids. Over the entiretyof the school year and summer, we connected with over 500 kids, as well as their families, schools, andcommunities. And, our growth goes beyond our numbers served. We’ve grown in how we connect withour members and families and in the innovative programming we provide. During the past year, we set to work expanding sites, engaging our caregivers and community, leaninginto impact measurement, and doing more of what we do best: empowering kids to achieve their greatestpotential. In partnership with Rochester Public Schools, a new club site at Longfellow, and summerprograms at Gage, and Riverside Elementary have more than doubled the number of youth we serve. OurCaregiver Council Survey invited families to share about their Club experience, their priorities, and theirmost pressing needs. We learned that safety, education, and relationships with caring adults are chiefpriorities for Club families. And, resoundingly, we heard that Club benefits families. We added the SearchInstitute’s Developmental Relationships Survey (DRS), which measures the internal and external assetsmembers have available for their social-emotional development, to our Results Based Accountabilitymeasurements.

W H O WE A R E | P A G E 33241Through consistently evaluating programming, curricula, partnerships,and quality measures, our Impact Team gathers and analyzes data tohelp guide organizational planning. We regularly survey parents, families, and Club members to ensurealignment of our programming and service delivery with kids’ andfamilies’ needs and expectations. These are some highlights from the2023 National Youth Outcome Initiative (NYOI) Member Survey,which asks Boys & Girls of Rochester members to share theirperceptions and experiences of their Club. Their responses allow us toassess how well Clubs deliver a high-quality Club experience thatpromotes positive youth development. Family voice, partnership, and engagement are key to informing howwe carry out our mission of providing Club members with a safe,supportive, fun, and enriching environment that inspires andempowers them to achieve their greatest potential. These strategieshelp us prioritize meaningful and necessary after-school programsand summer activities in our Clubs - giving every youth a chance tofind their place at the Club.

Staff Member Spotlight“I see myselfin the kidsevery day.” -Keturah QuinnAs I step further from the frontline role atClub, I see the bigger picture. Now,working to build relationships betweenschools, partners, and Club sites is whatgets me excited. Those partnerships willlead to positive community change. I have such a passion for working with kids. It was all about them when I first startedbecause I see myself in these kids. I come from where they come from. I understandtheir struggles, wants, and desires, and I am proud to give them an experience I wish Ihad as a kid. It means a lot to me to be able to affect change on a personal level, helping a kid whohad a rough start to the school year learn how to maintain a schedule and do theirhomework or building a relationship with a child who struggled with authority figureswho now gives me hugs when they see me at Club.Meet Keturah Quinn, Site Director at Boys & Girls Club at The Place Rochester is like the community I grew upin, and it means a lot to me to build thattrust with kids, to show them that theirvoice is valid, they are heard, and I willmeet them where they are. Community is where you serve. It’s where you feelmost comfortable and where you feel that urge tohelp. And, it’s about the partnerships you build alongthe way – with families, teachers, administration, andother sites. If we work together, we can create a life-changing experience for our kids.”
