NC Area Council Events
North Carolina Youth of the Year Celebration
Every March, the Youth of the Year from each Club organization come together for a two-day event that celebrates their achievements and conducts a process to select the North Carolina Youth of the Year. The North Carolina Area Council provides scholarships to the state winner, who then goes on to compete in the Southeast Youth of the Year event held every summer. The NC Youth of the Year serves as an ambassador for the Club members in our state and speaks at several statewide events during the year.
North Carolina All-Staff Training
In the Spring of each year, nearly 200 full-time and part-time Club personnel benefit from this training event held in various locations across the state. The training includes workshops on Boys & Girls Clubs of America programs, child safety, health and fitness, facility management, stress relief, first aid, career development, etc. It is also an ideal opportunity for Club staff to share ideas and concerns, while having some fun together.
North Carolina Area Council Annual Meeting
Nearly 200 chief volunteer officers, board members and chief professional officers gather in October to attend this two-day meeting that serves as forum for sharing ideas and updates on issues that impact Boys & Girls Clubs. This event also provides an opportunity to recognize outstanding Club programs and board volunteers in our state.
Cluster Trainings
Throughout the year, the North Carolina Area Council sponsors cluster trainings in the eastern and western areas of the state on topics selected by the leaders of our Boys & Girls Clubs. These trainings are designed to strengthen Club organizations through additional education for board and staff members.
A Boys & Girls Club provides:
• A safe place to learn and grow
• Ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals
• Life-enhancing programs and character development experiences
• Hope and opportunity
