Great Opportunities (GO) Program
The Great Opportunities (GO) program is a youth development program designed to help assist young adults between the ages of 16-24 years old with the education and exposure needed to embark on a path toward college or a career. This program provides the education, employment and experience to be successful.
Throughout the past 10 years, BGCC has placed more than 700 teen members in employment, post-secondary education, internships and training opportunities through this program. For more than the past 20 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago’s Youth Development Services has provided opportunities to hundreds of youth. We help youth members enrolled in high school, recent high school graduates, and those without high school diplomas achieve post-secondary and career goals. It is our pleasure to teach, train and elevate our city’s next workforce.
