Empowering Young People to Succeed
The Career Bound program, serving members in middle and high school, utilizes a case management approach to help members: identify career goals; acquire skills and aptitudes needed to submit competitive applications to post-secondary educational institutions; acquire workforce-readiness skills; increase leadership skills through service learning; and obtain paid employment at one of our Boys & Girls Club locations inclusive of training and coaching. Through this experiential program, youth will be introduced to high growth industries including, but not limited to, the Culinary Arts, Healthcare, Finance, Science, Engineering, Technology and Math.
To help young people meet the workforce challenges of tomorrow, they need safe spaces, positive mentorship, and work experiences today. At Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm beach County, we allow kids and teens to:
- Explore their interests and passions
- Develop their employability skills
- Apply their knowledge to real-world work experiences
