In Their Own Words -- Testimonials About
The Boys & Girls Club of Lancaster
Club alumni say that without intervention by caring adult mentors, they often would have made choices that could undermine their futures. For nearly 9000 youth across Lancaster County, our staff members, junior staff members, and volunteers at the Boys & Girls Club of Lancaster are the mentors that make a difference; and often that change and save young lives today.
Of special significance are the opinions of Boys & Girls Club alumni. An independent survey of alumni at the national level, conducted by Harris Interactive, revealed that:
- 62 percent said they became more committed to their education
- 90 percent agreed that the Club was one of the best things available in their communities
- 84 percent said the Club had a favorable impact on their families
- And an amazing 57 percent of alumni said the Boys & Girls Club SAVED THEIR LIVES
