While planning for the future, BGCL will continue being innovative, offering programming to address the pandemic learning loss experienced by our Club members, especially in subjects of math and reading. Students will likely experience short-term disruptions throughout the upcoming summer months and into the 2020-2021 school year.

BGCL will continue to collaborate with existing partners and identify new partnership opportunities to help address family’s ongoing food insecurity needs, social and emotional stresses affecting children and teens, and seek solutions to bridge the technology divide of the vulnerable communities BGCL serves.
