ABOUT THE ALLIANCE
Shaping Nevada’s Youth
Each biennium, the Alliance evaluates the state of critical after school supports and primary prevention efforts related to youth and teen wellness, identifying the most prevalent of needs for a united advocacy voice. This cycle, the Alliance has found synergy with many city and county issues being escalated for state attention, namely
- More options for consistent, quality and affordable childcare for families returning to work;
- Early on-set mental health interventions for youth and teens, in partnership with parents and schools; and
- Measurable progress alleviating the post-pandemic learning gap for children and teens.

The Club Experience
Boys & Girls Clubs provide safe places where young people can learn and grow. During the COVID-19 epidemic, Boys & Girls Clubs throughout the country partnered with state and local officials to help meet the larger needs of communities to provide childcare for health care professionals and other essential workers, meal and snack services and deliveries, and virtual learning to fill the education gap.

Positive Actions for your body and mind
Positive Action is a proven program for Boys & Girls Clubs and other afterschool programs. For more than 15 years, local clubs have found the Positive Action philosophy and its materials complement the mission of Boys & Girls Clubs and help local clubs streamline their program content.
Mental Health & Counseling
For over 60 years, Boys & Girls Clubs have done whatever it takes to meet the needs of young people and their families. We are unwavering in our commitment to the next generation of youth and putting them on the path to Great Futures. Our community has an urgent need for mental health services. Poor mental health can affect all areas of life well into adulthood. The adolescent years provide a critical window in which strong mental health can be promoted, problems can be addressed, and good habits can be developed.
