Speaker 2: I'm doing well. Thank you for having me.

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 3: Okay, cool.

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with the New York area, New Jersey era

19
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: was up there with Steve Harvey doing w b LS

20
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: one those seven point five for many years, So tell

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: us about the new Jersey community that you're supporting.

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: Sure, So New Jersey is my home. I grew up

23
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: in Jersey City, New Jersey, and so the towns that

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: I currently support, Patterson and Passaic are very similar to

25
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: the town that I grew up in. New Jersey is

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: filled with a whole lot of different types of people.

27
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: But more than likely the towns where I'm serving, we

28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: are working more with LATINX and Black communities. What we

29
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: found is that many of these families are struggling and

30
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: finding the resources that they need to just live. There's

31
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: a high homelessness population, there's there's a there's so many

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: food deserts that are around us, and our club is

33
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: really working to support those families who have those types

34
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: of needs. Many of those children who are going to

35
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: school a struggling. The numbers in Patterson are about twenty

36
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: percent are literate and about another fifteen percent are performing

37
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: out or above proficiency in math, and the results are

38
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: pretty much the same and Pasake, and so the club

39
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: works really hard to partner with schools to provide after

40
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: school support to children to make sure that they're getting

41
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: essential resources for homework completion and tutoring. Our club is

42
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: open you know Monday through Saturday to support families. For

43
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: that purpose, we also have a lot of partners who

44
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: assist us with providing nutritious food to our club members

45
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: and to make sure that we are a space where

46
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: children can come and have like a really good time.

47
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: So they're being fed here, they're getting support academically here,

48
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: and they're having fun while they do it. And we're

49
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: really proud of that and how we support this the

50
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 2: communities that we serve.

51
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: First of all, that was a great open speech own

52
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: You get a big check mark there for me because

53
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: you laid it out for me. Because I just need

54
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: to understand that when people in your position, you know,

55
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: you see the struggle every day. I've always wondered, how

56
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: do you how do you get up out of bed

57
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: or even go to sleep knowing that that struggle may

58
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: look the same the next day. And you represent a

59
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: very accomplished organization like the Boys and Girls Club of

60
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: Patterson and PARSEIC.

61
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: So I am very motivated to support my community. It's

62
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: important that I am a part of the system that

63
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: creates a better world for my children and my children's children.

64
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: And I can't complain about the position of black and

65
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: brown people in society if I'm not going to do

66
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: the work necessary to support its elevation. And so it's

67
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: hard to you know, get to sleep at night, for sure,

68
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: because you're constantly thinking about what's next and what you

69
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: must do. But I am motivated to jump out of

70
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: bed every morning to come and support these communities. I

71
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: know that it takes a real village. Like I said,

72
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: I grew up in Jersey City. This was in the eighties,

73
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: and you can imagine what Jersey City was and what

74
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: it became during the crack, you know era, And so

75
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: I understand that being this resource to these particular families

76
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: is essential to their survival. And I do need to

77
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: be a part of solving the problem and not complaining

78
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: about it.

79
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: Well, here's the beauty of this conversation.

80
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: You reside on the East Coast was just densely populated

81
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: with African American and people of color, you know. So,

82
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Boys and Girls Club except volunteers.

83
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 3: Correct, that is correct.

84
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: Okay, we love volunteers.

85
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 3: Okay, doctor Brown.

86
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Let's let's first of all put out a contact number

87
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: for volunteers. To get that number, start writing that down.

88
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: This is going This is a call the Action Interview.

89
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.

90
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: And this interview is about trying to support young people.

91
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: And it's not about the administration that's in now, it's

92
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: not about the administration that's left. It's about our community.

93
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: My community got me where I am today. You know,

94
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: I didn't get into extra dollars from the government or anything.

95
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: My community supported me. It was the village. And I'm

96
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: calling them the village to support what you're trying to

97
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: do in those two communities. So what's that contact number?

98
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: Let's get that out the way first.

99
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: Sure, So the phone number here at the club is

100
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: nine seven three two seven nine three zero five five,

101
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: and you can come to our website at www dot

102
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: BGCPPNJ dot org.

103
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: Now, if they come to that websode toll call you,

104
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: what do you want them to call you about?

105
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: So there are a couple of initiatives that we are

106
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: in the process of delivering to our club members. The first,

107
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: which we're super excited about, is a program called Girls

108
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: with Goals. And essentially, what we found out was that

109
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: many of our teenage female club members felt like they

110
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: wanted to go to college and better themselves and all

111
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: of that, but mostly they wanted to start their own businesses,

112
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: and so we responded to their need and their requests

113
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: by creating this amazing ten week program where we have

114
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 2: business owners, women of color who are business owners coming

115
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: in and mentoring and sharing their experiences with the young

116
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 2: ladies and making sure that they understand that there's ebbs

117
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: and flows to owning your own business and helping them

118
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 2: to figure out how to create a business proposal and

119
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: how to pitch it to the appropriate people to get

120
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: the funding that they need. And so that's one of

121
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 2: the things that we're really excited about. In this weekend,

122
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: which is the twenty fifth of January, we're hosting our

123
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: Empowerment tee where the young ladies who've been a part

124
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: of the program, along with many of the mentors and

125
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: their business coach, will come together to sort of celebrate

126
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: the work that they've been doing throughout this time and

127
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: to prepare them for their perfect pitch, which is the

128
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: following weekend, where the girls will share their business proposals

129
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: with a team of sharks, so to speak, and essentially

130
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: decide who sort of wins the grand prize, who's in

131
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: second and third place, and a part of you know,

132
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: the work that we did with with this Girls with

133
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: Goals program will ultimately be used as a catalyst to

134
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: doing this not just with our clubhouses, but clubhouses all

135
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: across America. So we're excited about that because.

136
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 3: This is just a coast to coast organization, the Boys

137
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: and Girls.

138
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: Club, correct, yeah, yeah, military basis all of that.

139
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, So let's give us an education about it, you know,

140
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: the Boys and Girls Club, because there are a lot

141
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: of organizations that do similar functions, but we're talking about

142
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: your organization. Give us more pacifics and how you impact

143
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: in and what age group and also gender.

144
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: Sure, So we obviously start as the boys Club, but

145
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: over the years figured out that the young ladies needed

146
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: the same outlets for support as young men, and so

147
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: obviously expanded to accept girls into the clubhouse. And a

148
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: lot of the work that we do is about building

149
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: character in young people, building you know, efficacious spirits and

150
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: young people, providing them, like I said, with the academic

151
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: supports that they need, and then giving them creative outlets.

152
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: So we offer dance and you know, we have a

153
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: musicle that where will be performing next spring, and then

154
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: you know, our sports programs and our swim program. I

155
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: just have to tell you that our aquatics program is

156
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: out of this world. I was at a swim meeat

157
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: on Saturday, and these kids are fish in water like there.

158
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: Was no competitioneotype destroying, the stereotype.

159
00:08:52,840 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely completely des obliterated. They are amazing swimmers and our

160
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: aquatics director is amazing at what he does and what

161
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: we are. You know, most excited about our brand is

162
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: that you know we are it's important that children learn

163
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 2: how to swim. Anything can happen at any point in time,

164
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: and sometimes, you know, programs like ours forget that basic

165
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: skills must be taught to and so the work that

166
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 2: we're doing in our aquatics program is is bar It's

167
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: like tip top tier. They're they're absolutely amazing. So, yeah,

168
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 2: we want to make sure that we're doing to support.

169
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: Doctor Brown because you're dealing with a lot of stereotypes.

170
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: You know, people see black youth on television with music

171
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: and clothes, and you know, music stereotypes our youth. What

172
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: are the some of the biggest stereotypes that you have

173
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: to change.

174
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 3: In order for these kids to win moving forward.

175
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: That's a great question. I think the stereotypes are that

176
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: So there's a concept called deficit ideology and Essentially, what

177
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 2: it means is that if you are poor, lower class,

178
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 2: if you are you know, minority, then you do not

179
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: have the capacity to even be successful inside of like

180
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: a professional setting. And I think that is the greatest

181
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: challenge that we're up Against's helping our kids understand that

182
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: no matter where you come from, and no matter what

183
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: you look like, no matter what skin you show up

184
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 2: and you have the capacity to become great. And I

185
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: think too, that we have to figure out ways to

186
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: affirm our young people who come to us with their

187
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: own brand of skills that we don't often talk about.

188
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: So we want them to be great mathematicians and scientists

189
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: and all of that, but there are some children who

190
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: come to us who are amazing at just having the

191
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: soft skills that are necessary to connect with people. Some

192
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 2: people come to us and you know, they have the

193
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: ability to articulate a point in a way that other

194
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: people can understand. And I think we have to help

195
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: affirm those skills just like the others, so that young

196
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: people can be confident in who they are and again

197
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 2: continue to build the effication spirit that we all need

198
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: to be successful.

199
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 3: Cool, I'm talking to doctor Brown. Okay, you know she's

00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 3: You know We talked about it a little bit, doctor Brown,

225
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: of this role.

226
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: You know, I come from a inner city, six sisters,

227
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: two brothers. Father was a truck driver, third grade education.

228
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: Mom graduated from high school, did not go to college,

229
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: and we lived in the community. When I walked out

230
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: the door, everybody looked like me, so I felt comfortable.

231
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: Moved to another community was an upgrade. We got one

232
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: more extra bedroom, so we're from one bedroom to do bedroom. Okay,

233
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: but I walked out that door they still looked like me,

234
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: so there was no challenge for change. Now I'm a person,

235
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: I'm successful. Do you bring people like me in to

236
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: talk to the students? And what role can people like

237
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: me play in what you're trying to do for these students?

238
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: And Patterson and pass sak new jersey for the Boys

239
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: and Girls Club.

240
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: Yes, we need people like you to come in and

241
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: mentor some of our young people. We run programming, like

242
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 2: I said, like Girls with Goals, were you know about

243
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: to institute a program called Real Talk for young men,

244
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: And we need people like you to come in and

245
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 2: share your experiences and share your story. I think one

246
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: of the best motivating factors for most young people is

247
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: being able to look into the eyes of a person

248
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: who looks like them, who have a similar background and

249
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: make up as them, and then for them to learn that, yeah,

250
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: I made it, even though I showed up in this

251
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: package and be able to share the stories I'm like

252
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 2: the one you just shared about, you know, growing up

253
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: with you know, not all the things that you might want,

254
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: but having the things that you need and using those

255
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: things to drive your success. Showing them the game plan

256
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: to how they can sort of escape some generational poverty

257
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: and things like that. That's that's exactly what we want.

258
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: We want people who will come in and provide that

259
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: type of support to our young people.

260
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: Okay, y'all hear that. You hear the community. You hear

261
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: the community. She needs you. You hear corporations or small companies, entrepreneurs,

262
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: she needs you. We're trying to change these kids. We're

263
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: trying to buckle up within the community, buckle up with

264
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: the surrounding area. We're not trying to go to the

265
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: government on this call, because the government did not change

266
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: Rashwan McDonald life. People in the community change Rashan McDonald's life.

267
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: That's why we're doing this interview. Because I asked her earlier.

268
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: Why did she come on the show. She's rushan, I

269
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: just want to get the word out. Yes, you're talking

270
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: to the right person here now.

271
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: Thank you.

272
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: Yes, you currently serve more than fourteen hundred children and

273
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: teens per day.

274
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 3: It is a huge number. Ye talk about that, talk

275
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 3: about the program. We got to break this down.

276
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: Now, you're not just doing fifteen people a day, fourteen

277
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: hundred yep.

278
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: So we have a clubhouse here in Patterson, we have

279
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: another clubhouse and Passaic, and we have eleven other alternate sites.

280
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: So we'll partner with schools so that the children are

281
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: just coming out of school and coming directly into our

282
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 2: programming in the afternoons, so we start with Power Hour,

283
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: which is homework help and support. The children go into

284
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: some of the activities that we do that are connected

285
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: to the Boys and Girls Club curriculum, and then there's

286
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: always something fun. They're always creating something, learning a new skill,

287
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: playing a game, or doing something that has some joy.

288
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: We'll say that. So that's one of the ways that

289
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: we're serving so many every day. On the weekends, we're

290
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: you know, open for Saturday tutoring, so we're open from

291
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: nine until three, providing the supports that some of our

292
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: struggling learners need, and then using our resources to support

293
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: our teenagers who might need an extra push as they're

294
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: preparing to go to the next grade or go off

295
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: to college or whatever they're choosing to do after that.

296
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: So we are running these types of programs six days

297
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: a week, and I am at this point interested in

298
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: opening them seven days a week.

299
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: So Sunday, Okay, I'm a pray for you. I'm gonna

300
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: pray for you. You said, Sunday, I'm will pray for you.

301
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 2: Yes, Sunday is you know, we want to make ourselves

302
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: available to the community as often as the community has

303
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: a need, and the needs here are high, and we

304
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: want to make sure that we're responsive to to that.

305
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: You know, when you're talking like marginalized groups, you know

306
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: that we look at TV the have and the have nots,

307
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: and then they tend to want to show the halves

308
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: more than the half nots because they don't want to

309
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to watch that on TV. You know, they

310
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: don't get good ratings. But it's the have nots that

311
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: don't need us that need access. Your role when you

312
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: we talked about a little bit give us a little

313
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: bit more about your background and how did you come

314
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: in into this position of being the CEO of the

315
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: Boys and Girls Club of Patterson and part Sakh, New Jersey.

316
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 2: Yes, so my first interaction with the Boys and Girls

317
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 2: Club was in high school. I played basketball. Oh yeah,

318
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 2: my crazy.

319
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: I can't go the whether, but you and Steven A.

320
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: Smith, who I represent, I can I talk basketball with

321
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: either of you guys, But I would connect y'all because

322
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: you're up in New Jersey as well.

323
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 2: Okay, I would love that. I would love that. So yeah,

324
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: I would go there and play with friends and you know,

325
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 2: sort of sharpened my skills. And then there were parties

326
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: and things for kids to do that our parents thought

327
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: were safe, and so they allowed us to attend. And

328
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 2: that's sort of like where I really began to understand

329
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 2: the necessity and the importance of the club. But after

330
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 2: graduating high school, I went to college down in Virginia,

331
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: the Great Virginia State University, and learned that I really

332
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 2: wanted to be a teacher. And so when I graduated,

333
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 2: I started teaching, and from there went into the principalship

334
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 2: and then from there went into you know, executive levels

335
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: of education. Oversight and working mostly in charter schools. But

336
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 2: what I learned from my educational background is that schools

337
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: operating on their own will never provide all the things

338
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: that children need, and so our clubhouses and our alternate

339
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: sites are super necessity. They're super necessary in order for

340
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 2: children to get the supports that they need. It's hard

341
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 2: for a teacher with thirty kids in a classroom to

342
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: be individualized in their approach. However, when they come to

343
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: the clubhouse after school, we're one to fifteen, there's another

344
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: person in there and they're providing supports, and it's necessary.

345
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 2: Some of our kids would not know how brilliant they

346
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 2: are if those supports were not there for them.

347
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 3: So what is really important that you say that now?

348
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: Because we have different support Now I'll be remissed because

349
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: you said twenty five.

350
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I wasn't. Okay, that ain't a boar or

351
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 3: a girl no more? Okay the bars of the girls club.

352
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 3: And it begins because she said twenty five.

353
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: So, not to confuse my audience, tell us about that

354
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: up to twenty five?

355
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: What does that mean?

356
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: Right? So, the Boys and Girls Club of America has

357
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: an initiative in place where they're trying to essentially provide

358
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: the supports that young people between eighteen and twenty four

359
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: that those folks need. Sometimes college is not in the

360
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 2: cards for some people, and we want to be able

361
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: to help those young people figure out where their strengths

362
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 2: and their gifts lie and be able to be and

363
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 2: give them the skills and the power really that they

364
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 2: need to be additive to society. And so there is

365
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 2: a complete focus at the clubs across the country to

366
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: make sure that those folks who haven't quite figured out

367
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: what it is that they want to do and what

368
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 2: exactly their gifts are, that we're there to support them

369
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 2: in figuring that out.

370
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: Okay, but helping out there because I'd like what you said,

371
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: But how are you helping them? But is it online tutoring?

372
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: Is it that do you have courses like you know?

373
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: Because I know that we're in a society now that

374
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: nobody's really jockeying for four year degrees like they used

375
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: to certificate degrees. A lot of people want to go

376
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: and junior college is around or two year community college,

377
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: there's an accelerate place as well as online education is

378
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: huge positioning and can they see.

379
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 3: This online at your website.

380
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 2: So what we're doing is we're allowing for those young

381
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: people to come and serve in different roles here so

382
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 2: that they gain the professional skills that they need to

383
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: go out and pursue whatever is next for them. So

384
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 2: there's internship opportunities here, there's actual you know, some of

385
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 2: our you know, eighteen to twenty four are providing supports

386
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: to the younger children in the clubhouses and in our

387
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: alternate sites. And now what we're thinking to move this

388
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 2: work forward is how can we partner with local organizations

389
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: and other you know, clubs like ours to create a

390
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: space where kids can learn, let's say, you know, some

391
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 2: of the blue collar skills that are you know, necessary

392
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 2: for society to function. So whether that's automotive, whether that's

393
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 2: cosmatology or that type of stuff. We want to make

394
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 2: sure that they are not only learning how to be

395
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 2: a professional, show up on time, be dress appropriately, have

396
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 2: the right types of conversations, and then that they have

397
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 2: a skill that they can go back and use so

398
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 2: that they can you know, provide for themselves and their families.

399
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: Well, you know, another shout out you said was a

400
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: shout out number three local businesses, local organizations like yours.

401
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 3: I'll hear that. Give it out that number one more

402
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 3: time and the.

Speaker 2: Number is nine seven three two seven nine three zero

404
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: five five.

405
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,000
