Sponsored by The JCPenney Afterschool Fund, the program <br />provides an encouraging recognition strategy that buoys members as their <br />successes are recognized and supported at every step of their journey. <br /> <br />The program uses a variety of one-on-one, small-group and large-group <br />activities to support academic goal setting, learning and success in school. <br />Members practice initial goal setting on achievable goals with the <br />leadership, guidance and encouragement of the Club's staff. In goal-setting <br />sessions members set achievable "Know-I-Can" Goals, more challenging <br />"Think-I-Can" Goals and yearly "Believe-I-Can" Goals. Through this <br />incremental goal-setting approach, members create an action plan with daily <br />and weekly goals leading to both short-and long-term academic gains. <br /> <br />WEB SITE: www.bgca.net/Programs/Education & Career Development <br /> <br />CONTACT: Carrie Prudente, Director, Education Programs, (253) 445-8429 <br />cprudente@bgca.org <br /> <br />Goals for Graduation <br />Boys & Girls Clubs of America (April 2003) <br />
