About Project Learn...
Academic achievement is the key to instilling in youth, the necessary protective factors that promote positive behaviors and decrease the chance that youth will engage in risky behaviors. For youth to grow up and become productive citizens, they need a place where they have their individual talents nurtured and are encouraged to think beyond their circumstances. They need caring adults to help them develop their skills, self confidence and abilities. The Boys and Girls Club of Tampa Bay offer that and much more through the Project Learn Program.
By offering developmentally appropriate educational tools, youth are more likely to succeed in the class room. This success gives the youth hope and affords them additional opportunities. The impact provided by the Project Learn Program include:94% of youth progressing to the next grade level
92% increasing their reading comprehension levels
Without these gains, youth would continue to struggle in school, making it difficult for them to resist negative behaviors. The Project Learn Initiative provides the essential tools for our community’s youth to become successful adults creating a better future for themselves and for Tampa Bay.
