During the week of November 21 - 27, Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) and Kimberly-Clark (K-C) encourage families across the country to spend quality time together during National Family Week, a week dedicated to fostering the connections between youth and their families. This marks the fifth year BGCA and K-C have partnered to extend the reach of the Family PLUS (Parents Leading, Uniting, Serving) program nationally by engaging families in activities that enhance their time together.
National Family Week, founded by the Alliance for Children and Families, provides Clubs and families an opportunity to plan a variety of activities that encourage family outings and togetherness. This year local Clubs are planning community dinners, family game nights, family movie nights, multicultural holiday celebrations, lighting of the green ceremonies and talent shows. Clubs also partner with other community organizations to give time and donations through volunteer opportunities at local shelters. National Family Week is a natural fit with the tenets of Family PLUS by taking a comprehensive approach to developing America's youth by giving families additional encouragement and resources needed to raise a child in today's world. By extending National Family Week activities to all of our Clubs, we remind families to celebrate and connect with one another during the start of the holiday season. More information about National Family Week is available at the BGCA's Family PLUS website at familyplus.bgca.org |
