WITH THE GOAL OF PROVIDING OUR CLUB MEMBERS WITH AN OPTIMAL CLUB EXPERIENCE, EACH CORE AREA IS DRIVEN BY RESEARCH BASED CURRICULUMS IDENTIFIED BY BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF AMERICA, THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, OR OTHER INTITIES EDUCATIONEVERY CHILD HAS THE RIGHT TO AN EDUCATION. EDUCATION HAS A DIRECT IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF A PERSON'S LIFE, AND BY EXTENSION, THE IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH THEY LIVE. EDUCATION PROVIDES YOUTH WITH THE FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS NECESSARY TO TRANSFORM THEIR LIVES AND GAIN NEW OPPORTUNITIES. IN MILWAUKEE TODAY, WHEN THE POVERTY RATE IS NEARLY 26%, MANY CHILDREN LACK ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION OR NECESSARY ACADEMIC SUPPORT, WHICH CAUSES MANY TO FALL BEHIND ACADEMICALLY.BGCGM'S MARVAN SCHOLARS PROGRAM PROVIDES ACADEMIC SUPPORT AFTER SCHOOL AT THE CLUBS THROUGH THE USE OF RESEARCH BASED CURRICUULM AND INSTRUCTIONAL SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS EACH STUDENT TO WORK AT THEIR OWN PACE AND MEET THE MEMBERS SCHOOL TIME NEEDS.

THROUGH THIS COLLABORATIVE EFFORT, BGCGM HAS ADDED AND ALIGNED SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS IN MATH, READING, ATTENDANCE, AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING DURING THE SCHOOL DAY AND AFTER-SCHOOL THROUGH SMALL GROUP AND ONE-ON-ONE INTERVENTIONS. SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) ARE ESSENTIAL SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE FOR TODAY'S YOUTH TO BUILD IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
