Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming Receives National Recognition for Their Commitment to Quality Improvement and Club Experience Casper, WY

Casper, WY — Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming (BGCCW) received regional recognition for their work on Quality Improvement and Club Experience at the Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Southwest Conference in Austin, Texas, on November 5. BGCCW has built a strong organizational culture centered around Continuous Quality Improvement, reflection, accountability, and growth in order to improve the overall Club experience for youth, families, staff, and the community at large. Continuous Quality Improvement at BGCCW is so much more than ensuring compliance. It has shaped the way we focus our operational mindset.

The organization has implemented a robust training and development plan for all staff, along with a stringent review process for all Club programs from the top down. Each site is reviewed annually by leadership and peers to ensure program quality is of the highest order. Throughout the year, staff meetings have become less about logistics and more about how the organization can make a greater impact on youth. Continuous Quality Improvement has become part of the day-to-day operations of the Club.

“Receiving this recognition is a reflection of the culture our staff has built across Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming,” said Beau Covert, Board President of Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming. “They have made quality improvement part of how we operate every day, with a focus on listening, learning, and making the Club experience better for young people. As a Board, we are proud to see that commitment recognized at the regional level.”

Throughout this journey, BGCCW has paid special attention to trauma-informed practices and a high-quality Club experience. In addition to these annual reviews, BGCCW utilizes the National Youth Outcomes Initiative to read the temperature of youth attitudes about the Club, including safety, fun, and opportunities to learn and grow.

These strategies have led to a greater impact on our organization and community, and this recognition is evidence of the hard work and dedication each member of the BGCCW staff commits to each day.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of America Southwest region includes Clubs from Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. BGCCW serves over 13,000 youth in kindergarten through 12th grade across four counties in Central Wyoming.
