ABOUT THE ALLIANCE
Shaping Nevada’s Youth
The only thing consistent during the pandemic was our commitment to make kids our number one priority; to provide them with a safe environment; keep them active; continue their education and supply nutritional meals to them. The state appropriated American Rescue Funds to the Boys & Girls Club Statewide Alliance to maintain our efforts to put kids first. With this new partnership with the state, the Nevada Alliance has launched the Kidswell program. We appreciate your dedication to the state for serving in the Legislative body and giving up much of your personal life to serve.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT
To mitigate the trauma our children have experienced in the last two years, the statewide network of youth development community-based organizations proposes to launch a two-year program to provide targeted interventions to the state’s low-income, most at-risk children and teens during out-of-school
time. The funding will provide additional academic and social-emotional support to 10,000 youth aged 6-18 in nine Nevada counties. KidsWELL provides evidence-based and evidence-informed programs, including:
- Project Learn
- Summer Brain Gain
- Positive Action
We value our strong partnership with the state, the cities, the counties and the school districts, because we know our common goal is the kids in the state of Nevada. We appreciate your dedication to the state for serving in the Legislative body and giving up much of your personal life to serve.
NEVADA’S YOUTH
Project Learn
Project Learn is a holistic strategy supporting Youth-Centered Learning in Clubs. Project Learn is intended to complement and reinforce what youth learn during the school day, while creating experiences that invite them to fall in love with learning. Rooted in social-emotional development practices, programs in this area enable all youth to be effective, engaged, adaptive learners who are on track to graduate with a plan for the future. As an informal learning space, Clubs have an opportunity to offer both remediation and enrichment, all while inviting youth to discover and pursue passions that connect to future opportunities. Project Learn includes experiential learning, so that youth learn actively, through a “hands-on and mind-on” approach.
Project Learn was rigorously evaluated in the late ’90s and the study found positive outcomes; the study was published in a peer-reviewed journal; and the program is listed on the National Institute of Justice’s programs and practices registry with a promising rating. Extensively field-tested and formally evaluated by Columbia University with funding from Carnegie Corporation of New York, Project Learn has been proven to boost the academic performance of Club members.
The Project Learn playlist includes a series of microlearning sessions that introduce this holistic strategy for learning in the Club. Relevant components of Project Learn are School Partnerships and Family & Caregiver Engagement.
