with the way it works for kids that go there, it can be hard to get field trips for the clubs to go to places like the museums

Advice to Senior Management

None

Pros

Working with different ages of children is what we do. To think that you could effect not only their day but, their future in how they feel about themselves is a great responsibility. The teaching of coping and social skills is such a high need for today's children especially since so many live in two income families who have a limited amount of time with their children. What we can do is so much more than "after school care" if the program is ran effectively.

Cons

low quality employees teaching high self esteem

Advice to Senior Management

Expect quality work from your employees. They should be smiling and nice at the least. Your requested standard along with training would greatly improve the program that is so very important to today's youth. More pride in what you do felt by all level of employees.

Able to make a positive impact on youth.
Clubhouse staff work together as a team.
Fun activities and special events.
Opportunity to be creative in planning programs for kids.

Cons

Questionable decision making from senior management.
Long hours with inadequate staff support.
Management shows favoritism.
Wasteful spending.
Limited room for growth.

Advice to Senior Management

The senior management of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Las Vegas would benefit from creating a more positive work environment for middle managers who are responsible for each facility. Providing them with adequate staff in order to provide a full schedule of youth development programs for each club.
