We are thrilled to announce that through an innovative and collaborative agreement with Illinois School District 300, and the generous support of our community partners, sponsors and donors, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dundee Township has opened its new innovative High School program facility, called the Impact Center, to provide comprehensive and collaborative afterschool programming for up to 150 youth daily. The Impact Center includes over 40,000 square feet of program space, and is located directly adjacent to Dundee Crown High School, providing ease of access for students to attend our after school programs.

Workforce readiness is the Impact Center’s primary goal. Our Club to Career Pathway Directors will work with each youth to assess and develop their strengths and interests, including mapping and managing an individualized Career Pathway Plan. The plan will identify goals, tasks, and responsibilities for our members, as well as identify and track progress toward the skills they need to be successful in the 21st-century workforce.  Through partnerships and sponsorships with area companies, the Impact Center will offer soft skills training, guest speakers, facility tours, internships, and summer job opportunities.  The Impact Center features a TechLab and BuildLab, which will integrate hands-on learning projects and computer science skills to help prepare members for success in the technical workforce.
