Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Toyota believe in making life easier for those who need us most and helping young people chart a path to a great future.
Since 2007, Toyota has partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to provide life-changing experiences for Club members, awarding more than $2.4 million in academic scholarships and supporting signature initiatives including Workforce Readiness and Youth of the Year.
As a founding sponsor of BGCA’s Workforce Readiness Strategy, Toyota’s investment supports essential skill development, career exploration and work-based learning opportunities for Club youth. The partnership is helping close the job-readiness gap by preparing youth for success in their first job and developing a plan to pursue the career of their dreams.
Additionally, Toyota is providing career exploration opportunities through its program, T-TEN (Technician Training Education Network), a partnership of community colleges, vocational schools and Toyota and Lexus dealerships to provide industry-leading automotive technician training. Toyota and BGCA are working to adapt a version of the program focused on automotive career exploration for Boys & Girls Clubs and community partners.

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.

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.
