Navajo Nation
In the summer of 2000, Boys & Girls Clubs of America was asked
to launch a special initiative for the Navajo Nation in Window
Rock, Arizona, to help the community provide a better future
for its children.
Using strategies that have successfully
provided positive places for children and teenagers to learn
and grow on other Native American lands, BGCA worked with former
Navajo Nation President Kelsey Begay to provide a network of
Clubs to the largest population of Native Americans in the country.
Today, the current President of the Navajo Nation, Joe Shirley
and BGCA are continuing this partnership for the growth and
sustainability of fourteen Clubs that serve over nearly 4,000
youth.
