RESOLUTION
Honoring and celebrating National Boys and Girls Club Week of 2025.
Whereas the young people of the United States are the leaders of tomorrow;
Whereas many young people seek out-of-school programming as a safe place to
connect with caring staff that help young people achieve their full
potential;
Whereas there are over 5,500 Boys and Girls Clubs of America in 50 States,
Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the United States Virgin
Islands, and United States military bases around the world, that serve
more than 3,300,000 young people annually through more than 2,700
school-based clubs, in rural, urban, suburban communities and
partnerships with over 250 Native Tribal communities;
Whereas the Boys and Girls Clubs of America do whatever it takes to ensure every
young person in the United States has the skills needed to graduate high
school and be well-prepared for life and work;
Whereas, through programs that encourage career readiness, leadership
development, STEM skills, academic achievement, life skills, financial
literacy, and civics education, the Boys and Girls Clubs of America help
youth develop the skills needed to succeed in the economy; and
Whereas the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, with 5,500 Boys and Girls Clubs of
America and millions of students and alumni nationwide, will celebrate
the week of June 23 through June 27, 2025, as National Boys and Girls
Club Week: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) calls on the people of the United States to celebrate
National Boys and Girls Club Week; and
(2) encourages Americans to recognize and commend the Boys
and Girls Clubs of America for building great futures for youth
in communities throughout the United States.
