According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly 13 percent of young people ages 6 to 14 have a disability (2001). Unfortunately, many of these young people have limited access to after-school programs that provide engaging, enjoyable opportunities for social and personal development.

Working with Kids Included Together, BGCA strives to provide its Club professionals and volunteers with effective strategies, tools and best practices for recruiting more youth with disabilities and serving them more effectively.
