Together, we can empower the next generation and foster a brighter future.

“I have been looking for ways to give back to the community, and when I learned about BGCDT, it seemed like a perfect fit. I love watching the children I work with succeed. Whether it is completing their homework or making their first basket at a basketball game, it just makes me proud.”

“Volunteering at the Impact Center has shown me the need for adults in the community who care for high school students. These students need more people who want to invest in who they are and their future. I am very grateful for my partnership with the Impact Center. It's an encouraging place that is needed in the community.”
