Reimagining the Future – For the Kids!
April 26, 2024 at The Depot Minneapolis
Doors open at 5:00 PM!
For the Kids! provides an opportunity for us to come together to celebrate Club youth while raising funds that support Club members in achieving our North Star Goal: all members on track for a successful future beyond high school graduation.
This year’s For the Kids! will highlight BGCTC’s NEW Changemaker Challenge, encouraging Club teens to develop innovative solutions or ideas that address specific social, environmental, or community issues that aim to create positive change. Within the framework of TLC (Think, Learn, Create), participants are asked to propose and develop an advocacy project that has a meaningful impact on the social issue they have identified. The goal is to inspire and support those who aim to make a difference in their communities.
