We were founded to help all children achieve their potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens. We accomplish that only through the work of our staff and volunteers, the contributions of our donors, the support of the community, the trust of parents, and of course, our club kids. We thank each of you for a successful 2019; this annual report is a testimony to what you achieved.

Our effort starts by providing a safe and nurturing environment to the children entrusted to us; that remains our top priority. Our staff and volunteers then use the time with our members to build their self-esteem, lift their aspirations, and build the social behaviors, academic skills and healthy lifestyles needed to succeed. The results can be measured in higher graduation rates and lower chronic absenteeism, teen pregnancy, substance abuse and crime. But meet one of our club kids, and you will experience our results more directly than numbers can convey.

Community appreciation of what you have achieved is reflected in its support for our decision to put a new club in Hartford’s Southend. That support has been widespread and deep — including state and local government and the school board, Southend community leaders, Hartford’s corporate leaders, and local businesses and individuals. It is deeply gratifying that the community so strongly values our service to children that they have asked us to do the same for the kids of the Southend. We will.

None of this is possible without your support. We hope you enjoy seeing in this report a sampling of what you have accomplished in 2019.

Sincerely,

Alan Kreczko Sam Gray Chairman, Board of Trustees, President & CEO, Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford

I wanted to remind them that they are smart, talented and can always do better.” John began providing math tutoring at the Club, and when his son began attending Loomis Chaffee, John worked with the school to develop a weekly tutoring program where Loomis Chaffee students tutor Club members—as many as 25 members each week.

4 MEN ON A MISSION

As an immigrant child growing up in New Britain, Joe Ghamo struggled to fit in with the other kids who spoke English as their first language. He credits Joe “The Boys Club,” as it was called back then, for giving him the confidence to come into his own. Ghamo Ghamo, co-owner of JT Ghamo, a shop specializing in men’s formalwear, first got involved with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Harford through the Passport to Manhood initiative. Joe was selected as one of the judges for the annual essay competition, an experience that deeply affected him. “Reading the candidates’ personal essays and getting a chance to meet them touched me in a profound way; I knew I needed to be more involved,” he said. Ghamo also donated formal outfits for the boys, teaching them how to dress for their future aspirations. “No one is born knowing how to dress like a professional. It has to be learned. We show young men how to properly tie a necktie, and the right way to wear other wardrobe accessories. We teach young Joe Ghamo helping our young men make men to dress like the men they want to become.” their best first impression. Joe offers inspiring words to empower our young people, “Life is difficult, and I always encourage young men not to sell themselves short. They need to make the most out every opportunity that comes their way, and understand the importance of networking,” Ghamo said. “At JT Ghamo, we believe there’s no better way to start improving our city than with the young men in our community,” Ghamo concludes.

SMART GIRL OF THE YEAR UPDATE Jada Copeland

Jada Copeland—2018 SMART Girl of the Year. As a member of the Northwest and Asylum Hill Boys & Girls Clubs for seven years, Jada attributes her confidence and leadership skills to the SMART Girls program. “The SMART Girls program taught me that if I set my mind to something I can achieve it. I learned communication skills and how to be a leader,” Copeland said. “Being involved with the Boys & Girls Club opened my eyes and mind to many opportunities.” Jada is particularly appreciative of the college preparatory programs and campus visits, which exposed her to the importance of higher education and her options. When asked what she’d like club supporters to know, Jada responded “With your help Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford builds a better and stronger future for young people.

THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF HARTFORD | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 5 YOUTH OF THE YEAR UPDATE Aracelis Figueroa

As the 2018 Youth of the Year, and a Trinity College Club member for more than 12 years, Aracelis Figueroa left a lasting impression on the Boys & Girls Clubs of Hartford. Now a member of the UCONN Class of 2023, majoring in Computer Science with a concentration in Cyber Security, Figueroa has not forgotten her roots, or what’s made her the person she is today. “In addition to the love and support of my parents, being a part of the Boys & Girls Club has molded me into the strong independent woman I am. The Club offered many opportunities to go on college tours and attend conferences on college campuses. With these opportunities I felt prepared to move away from home,” Figueroa said. “The Club also gave me the guidance on how to manage money, time and energy to have a good work-life balance. With this, I was able to maintain my internships throughout high school while still being an active member at the club, an athlete, and a contributing member of my family at home,” she said. Aracelis plans on pursuing her Masters in Computer Science and possibly, her Doctorate. Her dream job is to be a classified hacker for the FBI or CIA. She still plans to be involved with the Club and give back every chance she gets. “The Boys & Girls Club cannot function without the support of the community, and I would love to thank the donors as they have encouraged me to keep going and to exceed my goals,” Figueroa said.
