Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Salt Lake

To inspire and enable the youth in our communities, especially those who need us most, to become caring and responsible individuals through guidance-oriented adult relationships and engagement in a variety of enriching activities within a safe environment.

A Safe Place:
The Club is a safe place where kids and teens can come to enjoy themselves and their friends while escaping from the dangers that may lie within their own neighborhood.

Opportunities:
Club members have the opportunity to learn and grow, give back to the community, discover their needs, set goals and meet new friends. Many of these opportunities would not be available to our youth were it not for the Club in their neighborhood.

A Full Schedule of Great Activities:
Games, tournaments, arts and crafts, dance, sports, leadership clubs, music, discussion groups, homework and tutoring help, and computer classes…just to name a few!

Outreach and Services for Teens:
A teen drop-in center, opportunities to volunteer and become a peer leader and mentor, along with specialized services geared for the needs and interests of teens.

For those attending the concerts the Society is proud of its legacy of providing in-depth program notes.

Center for Documentary Arts

The Center for Documentary Arts (CDA) is dedicated to using the tools of documentary work – photography, oral history, film making, narrative writing, radio broadcasting, and visual art – to help Utahns look inward to better understand our state’s past and present and to gaze outward to discover our connection to the nation and to the world. CDA creates and supports projects that examine and honor the cultural, spiritual, and ethnic identities of our nation’s diverse population in forums wherein we can acknowledge differences, establish common ground, and hence, build community.

Children’s Media Workshop

School and community-based visual arts classes, workshops, and projects.

The Utah-based nonprofit Children’s Media Workshop produces a substantive and sustainable change in a short period of time by working across the staff and curriculum using best learning and management practices. Using the 21st Century language of media, literacy is advocated in all its forms, from language and mathematics to art and technology. The focus is on building authentic learning communities that are empowered to apply critical thinking and basic skills to the latest educational and societal realities.

As a group of highly dedicated educators and community builders, we combine real-time classroom experience with collaborative team-building techniques that honor individual potential while capitalizing on our extensive backgrounds, from the beginnings of Sundance to having created the largest successful teacher training in US history, the Visual Learning Workshops.

Our basic premise: nothing is more fun than learning.
