ACADEMIC SUCCESS
At Boys & Girls Club of Rochester, we want every member to realize their full potential, and that journey begins with academic success. Based on a 2019 survey, 85% of our teen members expect to receive a 4-year college degree or greater, and 15% expect to attend a junior college or a trade school.
