The Coca-Cola Company has partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) for 75 years to strengthen local communities nationwide. Together, BGCA and Coca-Cola are focused on preparing young people for successful careers and futures.
As a founding sponsor of BGCA’s Workforce Readiness Strategy, Coca-Cola's investment supports essential skill development, career exploration, employability skills and credentialing, and work-based learning opportunities for young people at Clubs. Together, we’re helping to close the opportunity and job readiness gap by preparing 4.7 million youth at 4,700 Clubs to become the future American workers, leaders and innovators of tomorrow.
The Workforce Readiness Strategy builds social and emotional skills such as communication, creativity, collaboration and leadership through mentorship and high-impact programming. The Strategy also exposes Boys & Girls Club teens to real-world work experiences and introduces employability skills like resume writing, interview prep, as well as industry certifications for first jobs in high school and following graduation. The Coca-Cola Company's investment also supports BGCA programs like Roadmap to Careers, which enables teens to explore more career opportunities.
As part of our joint effort to help young people navigate the long-term impacts of COVID-19, Workforce Readiness Strategy and programs like Roadmap to Careers are vital, offering transferable skills to become both life and workforce-ready in a changing environment. Coca-Cola is committed to helping close the opportunity and job readiness gap by preparing youth to succeed in the workforce.
“Charles Schwab has partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs of America for over 15 years to help deliver financial education to America’s youth through the collaborative program Money Matters: Make It Count. By teaching teens money management skills at a young age, we are giving them the tools and knowledge they need to take ownership of their financial futures. We are thrilled to partner with BGCA on the new Money Matters curriculum and continue our support for this important program.”

Through partnering with Samsung, we expanded access to the DIY STEM program and developed the Climate Superstars Challenge. The DIY STEM program serves as the entry-point for all members' STEM learning experience at Clubs and provides youth exposure to STEM through five modules: Energy and Electricity, Engineering Design, Food Chemistry, Aeronautics and the Science of Sports: Football. Climate Superstars aims to encourage youth to raise awareness about climate change and motivate them to take actions that help protect the environment.
Samsung's partnership enables interactive, hands-on learning while providing students with new perspectives on STEM careers and access to the latest technology. In addition, our partnership with Samsung goes beyond our programs and includes cause marketing initiatives that help promote awareness and drive donations for the organization. Through exclusive access to unique experiences such as the Las Vegas Galaxy Studio pop-up with singer Kelly Rowland and music producer and artist DJ Marshmello and a Winter Wonderland video production featuring YouTube star Casey Neistat, Samsung helps expand their understanding of STEM and encourages them to be the next generation of creators and innovators.
Samsung puts cutting edge technologies in the hands of underserved youth at Clubs across the country who otherwise wouldn't have access. Through state-of-the-art Tween Tech Centers outfitted with the latest technologies, including laptops, tablets, and more, Samsung has helped modernize the learning spaces at Boys & Girls Clubs.
