World Youth Clubs develops, enhances and strengthens youth organizations worldwide that work to ensure that every young person has access to safe, supportive spaces where they can grow, learn, and thrive. We believe youth deserve environments that nurture their potential, encourage their ambitions, and equip them with the skills necessary for a successful future. Our work with Affiliate Clubs is deeply rooted in this purpose. By offering Affiliate Clubs access to a global network of peers, expert guidance, and an array of tools, we empower them to transform young people's lives in meaningful ways. Each Affiliate Club is a beacon of hope, providing a safe haven where youth can thrive, pursue their dreams, and become the leaders of tomorrow.
The Club Advantage
Impact on Youth
Research indicates that young people who participate in youth organizations are significantly more likely to develop successful, fulfilling adult lives. Studies show they are more likely to volunteer as adults, have higher levels of job satisfaction, and maintain healthier relationships.
Youth who attend clubs are more likely to build resilience against negative peer pressure. An analysis of after-school and youth programs indicated a 40% reduction in participation in risky behaviors for club members.
Club Participation Creates A Powerful Difference
Studies show that students participating in after-school youth club activities are less likely to drop out of school.
According to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, young people involved in their programs were 57% less likely to skip school and 75% less likely to use illegal drugs.
Data from the National Youth Agency shows that young people who are part of youth clubs are 20% more likely to earn a higher education degree or pursue career-focused programs.
A report from the UK’s YMCA showed that participation in youth clubs led to a 31% improvement in young people's reported sense of well-being and a 29% reduction in feelings of social isolation.
