Unlocking Bright Futures: How Your Donations Can Empower Youths in Greater Conejo Valley
The Boys & Girls Club of Conejo Valley (BGCGCV) has been working tirelessly to provide support and educational opportunities for children in our communities. The shifts to remote learning and back again have posed significant challenges, leading to learning loss among many young people. However, with the generous support of donors like you, we have been able to keep our doors open and continue vital work to support youths.
The LEAP Initiative:
Addressing Learning Loss
BGCGCV has collaborated with the Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) to launch the Learning Enhancement Acceleration Program (LEAP). This new initiative aims to bring the educational proficiency levels of children outside of the current membership back up to normal levels. With your continued support, LEAP can impact the academic recovery of our community’s children.
Your generous contributions to the Clubs and the LEAP initiative will provide the necessary resources to ensure the success of this program. The timing is crucial, as many children in our community continue to be significantly affected by the disruptions caused by the pandemic. You can help our youths take a huge LEAP towards a better future by supporting LEAP.
