Health & Life Skills

Today’s youth face overwhelming obstacles that affect their health and well-being. BGCSM gives them the tools—and the strength—to engage in positive behaviors and good decision-making. Programs focus on building self-esteem and deal with drug and violence prevention, teen pregnancy prevention, fitness, wellness and disease prevention.

BGCSM helps Club members set personal goals and establish a foundation to live as self-sufficient, healthy and wise adults.

Every Friday, participating members learn traditional yoga poses, meditation skills and wellness techniques.  By developing their center-focusing skills, youth also learn how to be a valued contributor to their family and the surrounding community.
