It's About Time

Research shows that adults spending meaningful time with young people helps kids develop a positive self-image, and a sense of belonging, usefulness and purpose. Now more than ever, BGC Day for Kids encourages adults and youths to take a break from their busy lives, and enjoy spending time together. Celebrate our nation’s youth all year by taking the time to let them know how special they are.
