The Resource Library is designed to help you find resources quickly and efficiently. You can search for resources by the title index, a keyword, or refine your search by selecting the specific program, subject of the resource, or type of resource.
The purpose of the School Liaison and Youth Sponsorship Best Practices Catalog is to create a central library of Child & Youth Education Services (CYES) "Best Practices" to facilitate information sharing between Navy Child and Youth Programs (CYP) and other Fleet and Family Readiness functional areas. A submission template has been provided for installations to submit their best practices for consideration. Submissions should be sent by installations to CNIC N926 CYES via each Region.
Found within the BGCA.net website, the Youth of the Year (YOY) Leadership Journal is a tool for teens to record their thoughts, questions, ideas, and dreams about what they are learning and the kind or leader they're becoming. Navy CYPs are highly encouraged to provide the YOY Leadership Journal to prospective Military YOYs and teens alike. The journal is a great tool for teens to capture their thoughts, questions, ideas, and dreams over time to support their MYOY ambitions, college applications, and/or their identity as a whole.
BGCA is conducting interviews with CYP professionals to gain a broader sense of what mentoring looks like in Youth Centers. If your Youth Center has mentoring strategies and approaches that are promising, strong, and impactful, please consider sharing your strategies and approaches with BGCA so that they can be applied to other Youth Centers across the CYP Enterprise.
