Background <br />The Boys & Girls Clubs of Elk River have a rich and productive history working <br />together with the community. Through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Elk River, they have <br />exemplified the potential and delivered the results that can be realized through <br />cooperative, collective efforts for the good of children and young people. <br />Boys & Girls Clubs of Elk River today includes 1 organization operating 2 Club sites <br />serving over 1,000 youth and 850 Club members. Growth in Club sites will continue <br />in Elk River and Zimmerman, as the Boys & Girls Clubs look to respond to <br />populations of under-served youth in the surrounding areas. <br />The Boys & Girls Clubs of Elk River, started in 1999, is a powerful "youth <br />development" tax-exempt nonprofit organization (501(c) 3) that advocates for the <br />welfare of Elk River and Zimmerman children. <br />As the Boys & Girls Clubs of Elk River collectively look to their future, this Plan <br />provides their shared mission and vision, along with the principles that will guide the <br />collective work and efforts of the two Clubs. Five strategic priority areas are <br />identified - 1) Budget Process; 2) Organizational Growth; 3) Targeted Funding; 4) <br />Board Development; and 5) Insure a Safe Environment, with goals and objectives for <br />each. <br />With the successful implementation of this plan and the participation and support of <br />Boys ~ Girls Clubs of America, Boys & Girls Clubs of Elk River will mobilize and <br />support Clubs to be their very best in reaching and serving Elk River and <br />Zimmerman's youth, and will continue to serve as a state leader and model for other <br />Clubs in Minnesota to fallow. <br />Boys & Girls Clubs of Elk River <br />Ricky Solomon, Executive Director/CPO <br />Strategic Planning Committee <br />February 2008 <br />
