    The Club’s commitment to teens:

    • High-quality, engaging programs, activities, and recognition

    • Engaged and trained staff who have the skills to help them thrive

    The Strategy

    World Class Programming

    BGCSV’s college readiness programs are launching pads to higher education. Our leadership development initiatives provide lifelong skills that change lives and build communities, and workforce development offerings are a beacon of opportunity.

    Clubs aren’t just teaching skills; they’re shaping careers. From job readiness training to internships, we’re nurturing talent and ambition, preparing teens to step confidently into the world of work.

    Expert Staff

    Club staff and mentors are not just educators; they’re life architects reminding teens that they are not alone in this journey.

    Our community is enhanced by passionate volunteers who share our commitment and bring wisdom and experience, showing teens that Silicon Valley believes in them.

    Caring Community

    We’re not just building a brighter future; we’re shaping it right now. Clubs provide the opportunities and experiences teens want and need to develop essential life skills, build self-efficacy, and develop their passions, especially as they navigate this pivotal developmental period.

    Together, we’re forging a path where every teen is equipped to chase their dreams with unrelenting passion and confidence.

    Empower Future Leaders

    Student Portal

    Current students can log in on their Aspires Student Community Portal to manage their accounts, see their completed awards, and claim new awards.

    Aspires

    Aspires is an invitation-based program for students at Overfelt and San Jose High School. Students in the program will receive financial awards as they complete different tasks connected to college and career readiness. Through the program, students may earn up to $5,000 to support their post-secondary educational goals. At its core, Aspires aims to change students’ attitudes and behaviors related to graduating high school and succeeding in post-secondary education and the Silicon Valley workforce.

    About The Program

    In April 2021, former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, in partnership with the San Jose Public Library and the SJ Public Library Foundation (SJPLF), launched San Jose Aspires, a program to enable youth in underserved neighborhoods to set goals that chart a path toward receiving a post-secondary education and reduce the barriers that disadvantaged students of color face in accessing academic opportunities. Focused on breaking down barriers, Aspires enables students in underserved neighborhoods to set goals and chart a path to academic success from 9th grade to graduation by providing a performance-based scholarship program that educates them about college and career choices, as well as individual mentorship and counseling. After a successful pilot phase, the Library and SJPLF sought a qualified partner to assume long-term oversight and operations for Aspires. They determined that Boys & Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley is the ideal organization to continue advancing the program’s impact and in May 2024, the program was officially transferred to the Club.

    More About Aspires

    For more information on Aspires, the Aspires Ambassadors Program, and resources for current and former students, please visit our Aspires homepage.

    Future Grads Silicon Valley

    About the Program

    Boys & Girls Club’s Future Grads program supports students to and through college graduation, equipping Milpitas and Morgan Hill students with the support they need to become first-generation graduates of four-year colleges.

    Our students receive counseling for applications, financial aid forms, and college selection. They also develop social-emotional skills, including how to ask for help, access resources, and build support networks. The program begins in the summer before 10th grade through college graduation.

    How to Apply

    Future Grads is currently accepting new applications from rising sophomores currently attending Live Oak and Ann Sobrato High schools in Morgan Hill, and Milpitas High School and Milpitas Middle College High School in Milpitas. To register, please email kim.nguyen@bgclub.org.

    What Makes Us Unique

    • Post-secondary support to and through graduation: Once in college, Future Grads students continue to receive individualized coaching through graduation.
    • No academic eligibility criteria to be part of the program: Future Grads is open to any 9th-grade student at our partner high schools in the Milpitas and Morgan Hill Unified School Districts.
    • Financial Literacy help for families and caregivers
    • Transportation support
    • Bilingual Spanish & English support

    The Challenge

    Many students want to go to college, but don’t know where to start. First generation college students, such as those served by Boys & Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley, often lack access to the support needed to navigate the complex college application, financing, and enrollment process.

    What often stands between students and college success is access to caring, long-term, family-based college counseling that is attuned to the unique cultural characteristics of traditionally underserved and first-generation college students.

    The Pathway

    Participation in Future Grads starts with The Future Grads Summer Academy, a fun and interactive, week-long experience designed to introduce students to the value of a college education and build life skills that will support their success in high school, college, and beyond. Meanwhile, parents learn about financial resources to help pay for college. These lessons are fortified throughout the students’ high school careers.

    In monthly lunch and after-school meetings, students build peer and staff relationships and develop a college-going mindset. Meanwhile, parents receive education and support through workshops that address concerns.

    Once in college, Future Grads students continue to receive individualized coaching through graduation.
