FALL 2017 FRONTDOORSMEDIA .COM | 11 2017-18 Tax Credit Directory - Qualified Charity BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF CENTRAL ARIZONA Big Brothers Big Sisters is not your typical organization. Children realize their potential because of the strong, professionally supported mentoring relationships that change lives for the better. These positive influences have a ripple effect through families, schools and our community. As part the nation’s largest mentoring network, BBBSAZ makes meaningful matches between adult volunteers and children, ages 6 through 18, across Central Arizona. We develop and support positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people. Children are matched through the traditional community- based program and through the site-based school programs. By participating in our programs, youth are more confident in their schoolwork performance, able to get along better with their families, less likely to begin using illegal drugs, less likely to begin using alcohol, and less likely to skip school. bbbsaz.org BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF GREATER SCOTTSDALE The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale (BGCS) serves thousands of youth at nine Clubs located within the communities of Scottsdale, North Phoenix, Fountain Hills, Mesa, the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and the Hualapai Nation. Research shows that the more time youth spend at a Boys & Girls Club, the more likely they are to feel more connected to school and have greater post-secondary aspirations. The door to our kids’ futures is often crowded by temptation and misdirection making it difficult for them to reach their full potential. Inside our doors, youth development professionals and mentors provide guidance, support and encouragement in an enriching and safe environment. Our outcome-based programming assures that success is in reach for all kids and teens who enter our doors, no matter their circumstances. bgcs.org BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA GRAND CANYON COUNCIL Since 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has taught character development and good citizenship to millions of young people in the nation.
