All In For Youth

All In For Youth is a city-wide initiative focused on school completion. The initiative aims to reduce the high school dropout rate in Calgary.

This is a United Way led initiative involving community partners, corporate partners and philanthropic investors. Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary is fortunate to be one of those community partners.

The key focuses of All In For Youth are to keep Calgary’s youth in school, bring youth back to school and set up youth for success to continue their education. All In For Youth strives to connect youth to positive adults, remove barriers to success and to continue to change attitudes and behaviours.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary delivers a multi-faceted education program called Raise the Grade, aimed at increasing academic skills, high school graduation rates and access to post-secondary education for youth in grades 7-12.
Raise the Grade is an interactive after-school program matching youth with mentors and tutors who will help guide them towards achieving their goals. The program allows youth to explore interests, receive homework support, interact with peers, and plan for post-secondary education. Raise the Grade also assists with navigating scholarships and bursaries, internet literacy, resume development, interview skills and job searches.
