About Young Advocates
In 2002, Young Advocates (YA) began its mission in Wake County to bring awareness for Boys & Girls Clubs through fundraising and social events. Eight years later, YA has become a premier young professionals organization hosting large-scale events, corporate socials, and Club]based events to support the mission and vision of Boys & Girls Clubs. This year, YA has set the bar high with creative, innovative ideas to bring more awareness to the Triangle about Boys & Girls Clubs and YA.
About Boys & Girls Clubs
Boys & Girls Clubs are places, actual neighborhood]based buildings, designed solely for youth development purposes. The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
Clubs are open every day after school and on Saturdays; whenever kids have free time and need positive, productive outlets. Research has shown that the most critical time in a child’s life is between 3 and 8 p.m.—this is where Boys & Girls Clubs fill the void with structured, enriching, and exciting after school programs.
Since 1967, volunteers have made it possible for Boys & Girls Clubs of Wake County to serve more than 4,000 youths each year, 6 to 18 years of age in seven Clubs and a Summer Day Camp. The charity is a nonprofit privately funded 501(c)3 organization and depends on investments and volunteers to accomplish its mission.
