Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $2.1 million spent. Youth Programming: We provide youth development programming that builds foundations in academic success, healthy habits, and good character and citizenship for young people in our community. Our club is a safe space for children and teens to participate in out-of-school programming. We provide transportation to and from our club, free-of-charge mental health care from licensed clinicians with no waitlist, over 75,000 healthy hot meals per year, and other basic needs. Club members also participate in experiential learning opportunities, STEM activities, academic success programs, and most importantly, youth are surrounded by caring professional mentors every day.
  2. $908,463 spent. Childcare Programs: We offer a licensed childcare program for children from 6 weeks through 6th grade. Children have access to academic support, physical education, cultural arts, swimming, and other social recreation activities. We offer before school, after school and full day core services to the community.
  3. $227,261 spent. Education: We offer education programs every day which aim to improve the academic success of all members. In our education centers, club members participate in programs like homework help, academic tutoring, career mentoring, college preparation, and STEM exploration. We also offer youth programming that helps develop important life skills such as financial literacy, cooking, selfcare, and basic home/auto maintenance. Our goal is not to direct club members on any singular path, but to provide exposure and access to the many postsecondary opportunities available, to help them build a foundation from which to grow, and to help them make educated and well-thought decisions as they chart their path forward.
  4. $230,136 spent. Transportation and Facilities: Each year, we travel over 90,000 miles to ensure our members can safely get to and from the Club, attend exciting field trips, and experience new opportunities they might not have access to otherwise. We transport members from the Club to all Nashua public schools and two charter schools--Gate City Charter and Micro Society--for members in before-school programming. We transport members from 21 Nashua and surrounding-area schools to the Club for members in after-school programming. We provide transportation for members in grades 3-12 to designated bus stops at the end of the night, ensuring every member gets home safely and on time, and Club members are provided with transportation to a variety of events, including field trips, sporting events, college tours, and other exciting activities. The Club also offers its facilities, including its Teen Center and fitness and recreation areas, for use by other community partners and supporters. Many of these arrangements are with parties who share parallel charitable missions and values as the Club, and so these collaborative partnerships directly advance the Club's efforts to promote youth development and wellbeing in the broader community.
