Vision, Mission and/or Purpose of Organization
Our mission: to serve all youth in Indiana County through Evergreen After School Club's core programs: Character & Leadership Development; Education & Career Development; Health & Life Skills; The Arts; and Sports, Fitness & Recreation. Evergreen operates before/after and summer programming for children in grades K-12 in the following school districts: Homer-Center, Penns Manor, United, and Indiana
History of Organization
In 2002, the Children's Advisory Commission in conjunction with Indiana County Department of Human Services, conducted the "Indiana County Speaks Up" survey. As a result of the survey data, in 2003, the Children's Advisory Commission of Indiana County (CAC) appointed and charged an ad hoc committee, (Youth Priorities Workgroup) to research viable solutions to meet the rural communities' expressed concerns and needs. By 2004, after an intense, nation-wide search of youth-serving organizations, the committee determined that Boys & Girls Clubs of America programs best met the needs identified by rural Indiana County residents and formed Evergreen Boys & Girls Club (EBGC). To solidify the relationship with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Evergreen Boys & Girls Club formally affiliated with the Pittsburgh-based, Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania. EGBC opened it's doors in the summer of 2005 and. The organization serves annually between 1,000 - 1500 youth in grades K-12 in Indiana County. In 2018 The organization relinquished it affiliation with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America reflecting a change to its current name Evergreen After School Club.
