Positive Action is a proven program for Boys & Girls Clubs and other afterschool programs. For more than 15 years, local clubs have found the Positive Action philosophy and its materials complement the mission of Boys & Girls Clubs and help local clubs streamline their program content.
In 2015, the success of local Clubs caught the attention of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the parent organization that supports the local clubs. Through a cooperative agreement between Positive Action and Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the program now qualifies for a variety of federal and state funding sources. This unique agreement continues to support hundreds of local clubs and provides a rich and meaningful experience for thousands of youth nationwide.
Some local clubs have enjoyed an effective working relationship and collaborate with their local schools and districts where counselors and other administrators are able to identify youth that are at-risk. When aligned, this relationship can create new and effective options for implementation design, where at-risk youth can find a safe and nurturing environment after the bell rings.
As part of an ongoing funding effort supported by the U.S. Department of Justice, Positive Action conducts an annual Boys & Girls Club webinar broadcast that coincides with an application window. Boys & Girls Clubs of America is the pass-through entity and coordinates with Positive Action for the broadcast. Each year, broadcast details will be provided for prospective Boys & Girls Clubs for the upcoming funding cycle. Below you will find information about the previous broadcast.
Positive Action is hosting a webinar for FY2021 OJP grantees on March 17th and 18th. Below are copies of the presentations:
