2012 Annual Report - Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Minnesota

2012 Annual Report
From Mark’s Desk
Dear friends of the Boys & Girls Club:
The dream of expanding the Roosevelt Boys &
Girls Club to include a commercial kitchen and
teen programming space is quickly becoming a
reality for more than 1,000 children and youth
who live in the neighborhood.
With only 5,700 square
Our Mission:
To inspire all young people,
feet of program space, the Club
especially those who need
was cramped and it was difficult to
deliver a quality experience to youth. us most, to reach their full
potential as productive,
But this is quickly changing. With an
expansion featuring 4,800 square feet responsible, caring citizens.
of new construction and a renovation of current program space, the Roosevelt Boys & Girls Club
will be transformed into a powerhouse ready to change lives
- with a full-service kitchen and kids’ café to support the daily
meal program (serving more than 12,000 meals a year), and a
teen center which is positioning this Club to prepare the next
generation of workers. The expansion opened to serve kids on
March 11th. Then, the fun began with the renovation portion of
the project. Once finished in June, the Roosevelt Club will be
complete with a new check-in center, dedicated creative arts
center, learning center, junior & senior leadership centers, a
prevention center and a Head Start wing.
We have raised a total of $925,000 toward our $1,175,000
goal, thanks to the generosity of the community, our Board of
Trustees and Board of Directors, but we need your help to get
us across the finish line to a debt-free facility.
We hope to see you at the ribbon-cutting ceremony on
June 27th!
Sincerely,
pg. 1

Programs at a Glance
The Formula For Impact
starts with the young people who
need us most. Combined with an
outcome-driven Club Experience
(which includes the five key elements for positive youth development, high yield activities, targeted
programs and regular attendance),
youth should achieve the following
three priority outcomes:
Five Key Elements:
•
•
•
•
•
Safe, positive environment
Fun
Supportive relationships
Opportunities & expectations
Recognition
We have a history of impact.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central
Minnesota is celebrating 39 years of
dedicated service to youth. We
provide outcome-driven experiences daily to more than 1,300
young people at the Southside, Eastside and Roosevelt Clubs, as
well as 13 KIDSTOP sites located in the St. Cloud, Sartell-St. Stephen, Sauk Rapids-Rice and ROCORI school districts.

Youth of the Year
Jerry Akubue
“Character is like a key. The better it
is the more doors you can open.” This
is the motto created by Jerry Akubue,
2013 Youth of the Year for Boys &
Girls Clubs of Central Minnesota.
This once self-described “shy kid in the corner” is now a
confident young man who is comfortable in his own skin.
After losing his mother to a battle with cancer, Jerry and
his siblings were introduced to the Southside Boys & Girls
Club through a close family friend. With support from the
Club and strong self-determination, Jerry broke out of his
shell, started interacting with others, and decided to try
new activities. Jerry has become involved in career development programs, he’s won public speaking awards through
the Tech Speech Team, he dabbles in hip hop dance and performing arts through GREAT Theatre, and volunteers with
Habitat for Humanity and Kids Against Hunger. When Jerry
graduates in May, he plans to attend MN State University at
Mankato to pursue his dream of becoming a physician.
As the Youth of the Year, Jerry received a $2,500 scholarship
from the Windfeldt Family Scholarship Fund and an additional $750 scholarship from the Cheryl Lightle and Wade
Skaja Scholarship Fund. Jerry received the title of Minnesota
Youth of the Year on April 9, 2013, and he will compete for
the title of Midwest Region Youth of the Year in July!

Post-Secondary Prep
Fresh programming can make a big difference - especially
when it’s geared toward bettering the lives of youth.
Monika Lodermeier, Southside Post-Secondary Education
Coordinator, knew it was important to offer direction to her
older girls to prepare them for life after high school. She aimed
to create a summer program that would give the teens a stepby-step roadmap to a post-secondary destination.
Among the list of nearly 20 requirements, the girls had to
interview a current college student, investigate two scholarships,
finish two ACT prep packets, complete two personality
inventories, work through FAFSA and fill out at least one
college application.
“By working on our checklist all summer, we know we have
direction and support when it comes to all of our options for
college,” said Grace Akubue, Southside member. Grace wasn’t
the only one who felt this way - there were 12 other young
women who successfully completed all of the requirements as
well.
Special thanks go to Business Professional Women which
sponsored Girls Night Out. A group of professional women
joined Monika and the girls at Olive Garden for the celebratory
dinner. They served as mentors and inspired the girls to seek
out their post-secondary options.
“We talked about everything from dorm rooms to
roommates to classes. It was so cool to talk to these women
who have had the college experience and now have successful
careers. We want that, too,” said Achiyza Olana, Southside
member.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Minnesota’s postsecondary education programs were principally sponsored by
the Otto Bremer Foundation.
