ADVOCACY

 

The main focus of The Professional Association is to serve as the VOICE of Boys & Girls Club Professionals. 

Because each organization that carries the name Boys & Girls Club in their title is an independent, not-for-profit organization, Boys & Girls Clubs of America requires member organizations to meet national standards for employing club professionals. 

With more than 1,000 Boys & Girls Clubs corporations and tens of thousands of full-time and part-time employees nationwide, there is a great need to have in place a group that focuses and advocates for standards of employment and commensurate benefits for professionals working within the Movement.

Over the decades, The Professional Association has championed a wide variety of issues that have benefited club professionals. To see a list of some of our advocacy accomplishments
