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.

During a Youth of the Year interview, Robinson+Cole uncovered an opportunity to create an internship program, and the rest is history. “Interns develop lasting relationships with our employees and quickly develop into integral, productive members of the R+C team,” said Lisa Boyle, Partner at Robinson+Cole. “After completing her internship, one of our interns stayed with the firm through college and is now a full-time employee working in our Talent Management Department.” Rayshawn Adams, one of Robinson+Cole’s most recent BGCH interns, echoed Boyle’s positive sentiments: “The internship was a great experience. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the relationships I built. I got to step outside the box and learn new things,” Adams said. “I feel that every kid deserves a chance. Every kid can flourish being put in the right situation.” 1 Arbreton, A.; Bradshaw, M.; Sheldon, J. and Pepper, S. (2009).

  • The Literary Lives of Marginalized Readers: Preadolescent Girls’ Rationales for Book Choice and Experiences with Self-Selected Books
    THE LITERARY LIVES OF MARGINALIZED READERS: PREADOLESCENT GIRLS’ RATIONALES FOR BOOK CHOICE AND EXPERIENCES WITH SELF-SELECTED BOOKS By JENNIFER MICHELLE GRAFF A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2007 1 © 2007 Jennifer Michelle Graff 2 To “The Girls’ Club” 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I could not have completed this part of my life journey, filled with pit stops, side trips, exciting adventures, and extended stays, without the strength, love, and support of many people. I am extremely appreciative of my dissertation committee members, Dr. Danling Fu, Dr. Dick Allington, Dr. Linda Lamme, and Dr. John Cech, who warmly accepted my idiosyncrasies and kindly helped me channel my passion for research. Without their mentorship, I doubt I would have made it this far. The intellectual acuity and nurturing demeanor of my committee chair, Danling Fu, helped me improve my work and changed my approach to life. Dick Allington and his work with struggling readers was the catalyst for my pursuit of a doctorate. My research apprenticeship with him was invaluable and I still reel at the wealth of knowledge he not only possesses but willingly shares with others without hesitation. I am also thankful to have met and worked with Linda Lamme, with whom I share a passion for children’s literature and commitment to social justice. Our personal chats and email exchanges about children, books, and the powerful effects of their interactions, were enriching and will always be remembered. John Cech’s expertise in children’s culture was also helpful in multiple ways.

Transformation is one of our longest standing traditions. It began when Riverfront Recapture was founded in 1981, and continues now, with new leadership, new events, and ongoing development.
