CLUB WEEK
Mrs. BRITT (for herself and Mr. Warnock) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:
S. Res. 802
Whereas the young people of the United States are the
leaders of tomorrow;
Whereas many young people seek out-of-school programming as
a safe place to connect with caring staff that help young
people achieve their full potential;
Whereas there are more than 5,500 Boys and Girls Clubs in
the 50 States, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, American Samoa,
the United States Virgin Islands, and United States military
bases around the world, that serve more than 4,200,000 young
people annually through more than 2,600 school-based clubs in
rural, urban, and suburban communities, and partnerships with
more than 250 Tribal communities;
Whereas the Boys and Girls Clubs of America do whatever it
takes to ensure every young person in the United States has
the skills needed to graduate high school and be well-
prepared for life and work;
Whereas, through programs that encourage career readiness,
leadership development, science, technology, engineering, and
math (STEM) skills, academic achievement, life skills,
financial literacy, and civics education, the Boys and Girls
Clubs of America help youth develop the skills needed to
succeed in the economy; and
Whereas the Boys and Girls Clubs, with more than 5,500 Boys
and Girls Clubs of America and millions of students and
alumni nationwide, will celebrate the week of June 22 through
June 26, 2026, as National Boys and Girls Club Week: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate—
(1) calls on the people of the United States to celebrate
National Boys and Girls Club Week; and
(2) encourages the people of the United States to recognize
and commend the Boys and Girls Clubs of America for building
great futures for youth in communities throughout the United
States.
