At the Boys & Girls Club of Pharr – San Juan, we build a foundation to create great futures. Learning is incorporated in all aspects of our programming to enable academic success for today and the future. Clubs offer one on one homework assistance, reading challenges, college preparation programs, and activities on career readiness that help enable lasting successful careers.
CareerLaunch
CareerLaunch prepares teens for the world of careers and work. Through CareerLaunch, Club teens 13-18 years old embark on a journey to explore possible vocations, make sound educational decisions and find success in the world of work.
Up Next Career Development
Up Next is BGCA's comprehensive in-Club work-based learning program. It replaces the national program historically known as Junior Staff. Chosen by Club teens, the new name reflects an unprecedented commitment to safety and emphasizes the life-changing benefits of work-based learning. Up Next provides teens with work experience right in the Club, where they can learn and practice key employability skills. Participation puts teens at the front of the line – or “Up Next” – for desirable placements in the workforce.
