All year long, we aim to promote regular attendance at Clubs and sustained participation in targeted programs in order to help Club members overcome obstacles in their lives and meet their goals. Along the way, we collect and analyze data that helps us understand how we can tailor our programs and services to have the maximum impact on the community we serve.
